Naked Army 300mm Australian Infantryman Vietnam 1969-70

[Macca G]

Being my debut on PF, I best lead off with the good stuff. Naked Army's Australian Infantryman Vietnam. This is an all resin kit apart from a white metal barrel for the SLR. The flesh is oils over an acrylic base with the rest of the figure done in acrylics.

Thanks for the comments fellas. These kits are a whole lot of fun and nowhere near as daunting as you might think

Hi Graham,

I love this NA kit. Great job on achieving the jungle green colour on the shirt and trousers.

Painted this one myself about 6 years ago and took it to Euro Militaire in 2009. It didn't win any medals but most people were amazed at the level of detail sculpted into these kits. Have you done any of the NA busts yet? They are simply awesome, and much quicker to paint too.

 

[Macca G]

Thanks Tony, Don't have any of the NA busts yet. Trying to be responsible and cut down my stash. But willpower is such a fickle thing

Yep Ben, I'm another reprobate from QLD figure modellers

We're trying to wean Graham off armour models....he is resisting though.........
