Gav, these are amazing. As an American, we will never forget our boys who fought a hard struggle for freedom in the NAM, thanks for carrying their legacy through these brilliant pieces!
Thank you for your kind words i think all those veterans just wanted to be appreciated no matter what people thought of the war and those who did abuse those serving in the war will wear their own shame for ever . Regards Gav.
Lovely work on the figures Marra. Beautiful beautiful work. As you say, the hobby is usually done with respect, not as disrespect to those that served.
Great painting work as usual . Nice subject as well the battle of Hue . It doesn ' t changed too much other there . There is some rooms about this battle at the Military Museum of Danang .Was my last trip Hue , Danang and Hoi HAn just before the Covid 19 came in ...

Hi George i use mainly AK 3rd generation and Vallejo for this period and Rosemary and co series 33 sable brushes size 10/0 , 2/0 , 1/0 , 000 . Regards Gav.
Thank you for the advice i had thought of drilling them out but 0.3 bits fracture easy but when i next paint some more i will give one a go . Regards Gav.
Could you tell me also the colors used for the helmet pattern, if you remember ? I know it is just an "approximation" but it would give me a point where to start. Thanks
The frog pattern .. German cammo beige base lightened with pale sand , bronze green and mahogany brown . Washed over over with German cammo brown and highlighted where needed . Woodland pattern German Africa corps green cammo Luftwaffe cammo green , orange brown , German cam bright green washed over German cammo beige highlighted where needed . Regards Gav.

the carry handle on the M-16 has metal flash in it, i've never tried but maybe drilling it out with a 0.3mm drill would do the trick?
Thank you for the advice i had thought of drilling them out but 0.3 bits fracture easy but when i next paint some more i will give one a go . Regards Gav.
@@gavinbooth i just suggested that size b/c that's the smallest bit which came in my set.
