Great work and thank you for the kind words. The research for these figures was watching lots of archive footage of the Battle. It’s always a collaboration between myself and Empress. It is Empress that will decide the period first.
Lovely painting on some lovely sculpts. The basing is quite simple, but really captures the 'feel' of the urban fighting in Hue city. I especially like the various and subtly different shades of olive drab/green you use on different parts of the kit, uniforms, flack jackets, webbing, bandoliers etc. Very realistic in this scale. Excellent! xx SF
I love these marra. I also collected that “Nam” magazine series in the 80s and yes mine were lost too, when I had to move to another state as part of my work. I enjoy your channel as is, it is a showcase of your work and I like seeing works by other people. 👍🏻👍🏻🙂
@ i think they may have turned the magazine series into a hardcover book at some point but I’m not sure of this. I’ll look it up on the Web, to see if there’s any information on the series or the book. 😀
Looking great keep up th good work your eclectic range of videos are always worth watch for inspiration to keep moving forward with the hobby to strive to do the best you can and learn from masters like yourself it's good for ones mental health keep it up marra
You cease to amaze me on your tiny figure painting. Not only the figures but their bases to. All the colors. Very, Very Nice work Gavin!!! I rarely look at my analyticals. I never edit. I'll sit down with my phone. Film a video. Then post. Thanks for sharing
