The first of what I think is a new range from Gringos40. Blue denims of course and very well documented, but I cannot imagine anything more impractical and uncomfortable in a South East Asian climate. I like his Stoner.

thanks for posting Liam its the start
of a fairly New line for my 28mm Vietnam
War range..been out a little while but
not heavily covered picture wise. the
Jeans were a must have for the SEALs but
oh so practicle..no wildlife in the swamps
could penetrate them…along with the
mid blue tee shirts edged in yellow and
the funcky shorts to match they were the
designated down type gear for these stalwart
warriors !

Great brushwork.

Awesome work as usual. When working cattle in West Texas where the temps frequently exceed a hundred degrees we always wear jeans and boots for protection from the sun and everything that bites, stings and/or pokes.

Very nice.

I am trying to figure how to fit these figures into some scenarios.

(,,,says the guy who converted four hundred odd troop figures as Laotions, Thais and so on,,,.)

Ged, I wish I had pallets of cash to throw at you, to make so many more figures.

They would also are tights, panty hose for the US… under the trousers as the leaches would bite through them.. grr

Not all jeans have red tags😉 and cutting them off is always an option.

Yeah, I used to wear Wranglers in the early 70s, but any denims now have red tags on the back. Snag is they fit just great fresh from the wash (and yes, I do get them washed) but, within 48 hours they hang off my butt like a sack. OK I am very skinny, at 5'11" and 155 pounds. Could qualify for UFC if I was not such a wimp.
