About the Project
This project started about 2013 with this: https://www.beastsofwar.com/historical-battles/goood-morning-nam-week/ In this year our gaming club was big in FoW: WWII. And we heard that Battlefront would start a vietnam range. We looked in our eyes and said: We will do this all together. So around 6 gamers picked an army. For me this was the PAVN. We had about two NLF, one ARVN, one Aussis and we had one US Army. I was slowly working through my first packs. About a year of really nice games and campaigns, we thought about going to the Hamburger Tactica (biggest historical tabletop convention in germany) with Flames of War: Vietnam. And we choosed the Battle of Ia Drang (anyone remember the movie "We were Heros") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ia_Drang Bothi did a really nice table (which i will show later) and the scenario and i did painting PAVN like a beast ;)(i like deadlines). Finished all miniatures just in time. Pictures for this will follow too. Since then, i bought some NLF, a mobile cavalary, airmobile and a brown water navy. So much unpainted minis. And why this now? Some of you may heard that in february the new book Nam came out (mostly based on Team Yankee and full of fault, sorry i have to say). We still have to test this. But we are not unafraid to change this we don't like. And then there was this article series from Oriskany: https://www.beastsofwar.com/flames-of-war/50th-anniversary-tet-offensive-part-one/ So i hope you will enjoy this project in the upcoming months.

Next i work on the H-34 and the Pibbers.
Whats next?! And thank you.
First a big thank you for the Golden Button. Expect more in the upcoming months. My next big step will be working on the Brown Water Navy. Yes, boats are incoming and more Free World:
Last weekend i finished this movement tray for the slick platoons (source: Dark Arts Miniatures)
I tried some mods on the ASPBs from Battlefront. I added spring wire for antennas (sharp as needles), tried rubber bands as life saving rings and 10mm tires.
Both are made from silikon, so i cant overpaint them, stupid, and the tires are too big. 
These will be replaced with rings and smaller tires, i designed and were printed locally. On the same way i received some replacement rotorwings. the first ones were not usable from the setting of the supports
Then i ordered some LVTPs from Butlers Printing. From the scale they suit well with the ones from Battlefront.
And i still experimenting on the resin water. 2nd batch. Better, but still not what i want as result.
