a sad part of our history but a lot of things to do with this battle, legion, tirailleurs etc ...
Again great work BRAVO BRAVO !
 
Hi Vladi,

very nice Figure set. You have captured the "Moment of death" very clear. I like the Vietmin soldier alot. Great pose and Detail. Also the french paratrooper is great done in this action pose. Personally i would favourite it if the french guy where a US Soldier for Vietnam era ;-) but this Conflict ist very rare and i think many people will be very pleased. Also it could be an German soldier because about 6.000 German soldiers died at Dien Bhien Phu. Most of them where former SS Soldiers which fled after WW2 to the Foreign Legion. So great work Vladi.
PS: what´s about some ARVN, NVA or more Vietcong/vietmin soldiers? These are also very rare in Modeling.

Have a nice day

Stefan
 
Many thanks,friends!
Stefan,I`d like to soothe you and all NAM fans that Vietnam war theme will be continue with all different branches of it!:)For example, 2 Military Policemen and 2 Marines will be next.

Vladi
 
Thanks Vladi, now i can relax and can wish my cold sweet away ;-). No, just kidding :). Sounds Interesting, but i think you should also do some more Indochina Figures if the reactions on the market allow this. I think it´s an Interesting theme and the french has some very diferent and Interesting clothes and equipment that time. It has much potential and i think it would be welcome by a lot of people. In fact this is a great Figure set and only for these great looking Viet Minh Figure i will buy this set. These action poses are great and i think the other guys like them a lot. Also some more neutral Vietnamese or all in all asian Figures which could be used for civillians in towns, villages etc. would be great. Like the prisoner from your great Seal set. Great looking Figure and no need of weapons or equipment is necessary. That would be a nice addition for every dio. Looking forward for your great work and wish you all the best.

Hi Vladi, many congratulation for these new nam figures......they are very fine for poses,dynamicity and interaction....i read that is n.1...this mean that you realize same otherdynamic figures to add to this prench para'.....could you say samething about that ? How many other dynamic french para'do you ll realize?
As my friend Stefan say(hi Stefan how are you??) ...i ll buy these figures for viet mihn...for sure...but if you ll add other figures to this theme, may be(for sure...) that i ll buy all of them ,to realize a diorama of Indocina.......and may be, that other nam fan will do the same....(i hope for your business.....eh eh eh eh!!!!) !!!!!
I'll wait your news : other us marine of Hue theme : you said various wounded buddy...isnt it? the militar police and other marines.....but you know my passion for "Platoon"....dont forgot (as you said....) of Sal ,Crawford,johnny Depp ...and the other...!!!!!!

There is the possibility, in future, that you ll realize a series of fighting us infantry nam grunts figure ,fighting in the jungle???? Pratically like appeared in fighting scene in Platoon or Hamburger hill?????
Bye bye and many congratulation again ,
and thanks to share with us these masterpieces!!!!!!

Buon giorno Mario :),

i am fine hope you too. Your idea with the grunts in action poses or maybe patrolling should be from my minds ;-). in the meantime i convert some of his great other FIgures for these kind of Figures. What makes me crazy is to make a Leightweigt rucksack frame. James O´Leary has made some fantastic ones for his Figures on the site i have show you Mario. But it´s harder to do them than i thougt. So this would be something real great thing for master Vladi. Also only a head set with boonies, bandanas, headbands etc. would be very welcome ;-). I have seen masterbox will release some Nam Figure sets in the Future. The first one is for patrolling Mario and one guy has this frame with rucksack added. Don´t know when they will be released.
So in the future we will get great stuff.

Ciao Mario

Greetings

Stefan
 
Hi Stefan, i am happy to hear you......yes after that you give me the address of O'LEARY modelling ,i saw every day his transformation....simply fantastic...he is a teacher in using kneadite green putty to realize shirt ,pockets, and especially HAIR to Hornet heads very fine indeed...i like so much the sleeping soldier half bravo6 and half hobby fan with hornet head and massive use of green putty......!!!
He suggest me to trasform me too ,same figures of marines ,using their legs and using shirt of infantry....(legs of Hobby fan , Bravo 6.and shirt of Verlinden ,hobby fan,and ,at least,same Dragon)so you realize very interesting grunts....waiting the future ones of Vladi......!
About heads with bandana i am in line with your thoughts, but i use same old verlinden same hobby fan of other period (the group on hovercraft,or the two snipers sits,),same Dragon and especially, i use Hornet,Verlinden and New world miniatures heads mounting on them, boonie hat of dragon,evolution,bravo6 and verlinden and create with putty various bandana style.....may be in near future VLADI could realize a kit of fine heads with bandanas.....!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye bye from Italy.

Mario.
