This is the next member of the 3rd fire team 1st squad 1st platoon of my US Marines.

An Empress miniatures figure sculpted by Paul Hicks. A joy to paint!

Added my Jungle scatter foliage

2. September 2019 thomasriepe 28mm, 28mm figure, vietnam terrain, Vietnam war

As you can see here I made my own clump foliage. I mixed a coarse scatter foliage to be added to my jungle terrain and to the bases of the Marines and the soon to come NVA.

Here is a picture without the foliage and with the foliage:

What do you think ? I personally think with foliage will blend the miniatures better into the terrain.

todays Grunt

15. August 2019 thomasriepe 28mm, 28mm figure, Contrast colour, Empress miniatures, Games Workshop, Gringo 40, US Marines, Vietnam war

Here is the next Grunt for my growing Vietnam war collection.

This time it is a figure by Gringo 40 miniatures. An afro-american ( hope that is the political correct designation) GI. These are wonderfull sculpts and are only slightly bigger then the Empress miniatures . They get along quite well so that I will mix both ranges in my american force.

Painted again with Contrast paint from games workshop.

I got my plastic rainforest vegetation in the post yesterday so will start on some scatter scenery shortly.
