Hi Vladi,
Absolutely superb sculpting mate. The only thing it needs is a couple of M18 smoke grenades.
The modified SLR rifle (in the right hand) has had the flash suppressor removed, a hand grip added to the stock and is fitted with a 30 round magazine (normal SLR's carry a 20 round magazine). SAS removed the flash suppressor to increase the muzzle flash and noise to bewilder and confuse the enemy and make them think they were being fired on by a larger calibre weapon.
I'll defintely be ordering this figure and the other SAS figure giving "the bird".

Hi Vladi,
very good Figure. Nice addition to the other one. Good work on the L1A1 rifle. It was time that someone make an good looking bush hat wit short brim. A nice features are also the SAS ammunition pouches. The L34A1 is a cool addition as second weapon. Could it be that the next guy you are working on will have no weapon and the two stands beside each other? Or is that only a secondary weapon for him.Beside this I have converted an L34A1 with a xm-148 grenade luncher under it. Looks very cool. Perhaps an idea for Future Figures ;-). Hopefully these are not the only SAS guys from you. We wand more, more, more
. Great work Vladi and i will definitely order these guy when he is aviable. With a little luck the Vietcong Figures from you i have ordered will arrive today. Can´t awaid it to see them in nature .
Many Greetings
Stefan

Thanks Stefan!
You`re right.L34A1 is not his second weapon.It`s weapon of his comrade
Comrade is now in process now (in Tiger suit)
4th SAS will be with m16/grenade launcher.

Hi Vladi,
lol, i think i have read your mind ;-). Sounds very good and with the tiger stripe uniform it´s something different. It´s hell to paint these pattern right. This is a very good site for inspiration: http://alphaimagemodelworkshop.com/Web pages/Article pages/LRRP1.htm
The plans for the 4th guy sounds very Interesting to me. What´s about an grenadier vest for him. I my mind are this Soldier on Plate G (Number 1) in this ANZAC book. That would be an very cool Figure. Whatever you choose, i´m sure it will be a great Figue like your other work. I think in the Future we will see many Vietnam dio´s/Vignettes ;-).
Now it´s sleeping time and so i wish all a good night and hopefully i don´t snore to loudt.

Gracias Mario!
I`m not sure about easy conversion of Aussies to GIs...another rucksacks,another pouches,ammo belts in tubes around torsos...But of course,if you`ll make it-it`ll be great and I d like to see result!
About Platoon sitting figures,I prepared wire sceleton for 4 sitting figures,to my opinion 4 sitting figures on M113 are most better than 2 sitting figures))))

Great Idea with this 5 pocket harness. I have tried to find some Information about this but it´s difficult. Think it will look great. Sounds good about the 4 sitting ducks . That will be a nice addition for all the Vehicle guys and will pimp up every M113, V100 etc...
PS: I have become all your Vietcong Figures Yesterday and they are amazing. Great Detail and i love the poses. Fast essemble and very good fit. Only the hands are a little bit tricky.I only have changed the M1 with an SKS rifle because the magazin was broken and now it looks great too.
Great work and go on with that great stuff.
@ Mario,
i have the same idea about that converting ;-) and with some gear cutting it could be possible. The SAS uses a lot of US gear and weapons in combination with their special SAS pouches. To converte them to US troops will be some work but a lot of fun. I think the most work will be the cutting or sanding of the rucks. I´m thinking about to scratchbuild some leigtweight rucksack frame. This was still used by both sides. The ones from Plus Model are a great start but not correct at all. I´m now in process to convert the other Figures to LRRP or SAS guys. Will post some in Progress Pictures.

Danke Stefan!
About VC.I bought 2 nice books ("Schiffer") about VC and get great inspiration with all those photos and info.I`d like to continue this VC series.
Lightweight rucksack frame is real head pain for me...I`m thinking about good and realistic way of making it...and main...casting of it.As my father said:"There is no any impossible,you only must find right solution"
P.S. Stefan,I`m looking forward for your conversion and Vietcong figure with SKS!

Hi Vladi,
thanks for your nice words and yes Your father is right and very wise. More VC would be welcome by everybody i think. Also some NVA. I love their Uniforms and these cool Pit helmet. About the leightweight rucksack frame i know that James 'O Leary makes some fantastic frames with copper wire and metal folie.His site Hard Core Hobbies is out of order and does no longer exist :-(. But i have all his photos saved on my Computer long befor the site was down. Two of his Photos where you can good see what he done is on my armorama photo album. Here is the link for my album:
http://gallery.kitmaker.net/showphoto.php/photo/239952/ppuser/22372
PS:The ones from Plus Model are good but they has left away the "ears" on the sides where the harness is fit. Here is the link:
http://www.plusmodel.cz/karta_en.php?id=209
For reproduction you can built an rucksack on the frame end and under it the frame for the resin like you done under your Figures or the equipment. Take a look on the top row and the third rucksack from the left on the picture from Plus Models.if you click on it it will pop up. The second one from the top is complete false in measurements and form. Only the third one is good for start.You have all the harness on them and still need to add the "ears".You could built a frame with ARVN pack or and with an us tropical pack for example. s You can fill the hollow with white glue or tape. I have try it out and it still works fine for me. It`s thin and transparent when dry. The silikon don´t sticking on it and that´s all ;-).
I try to add some in progress pictures in my album here but become an error message. I will try out again. The conversion from one LRRP is nearly done and the VC with SKS is ready too.
PS: The guys on the Photos are not me. If someone have copyright problems with it i will delete them for sure.
