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.

Resistance Fighters or Civilians?
With this part i finished the vietnamese side:
Testing resin water
Fail!
Ch-34 print for US Marines
1st Local Force Company (Blue Company) 3 Platoons + Mortar Platoon
Finished my first miniatures for this project in 2021.
Start of my Local Force Battalion (NLF) before we get over to the brown water navy. Bought some thin spring wire to add antennas to the boats.
2nd tour of duty
It’s been a while since i posted something new in this project. 2020 has started and i want to continue on this project.
I want to finish my NLF and start the brown water navy. I bought a suitable mat some time ago and cutted some hardfoam:
Cutted the sides and added sand on PVA. After this i painted the parts in a brown earth tone:
At the moment i collect some green plastic plants to add some more green to the field.
On the other side i worked on some 15mm MDF huts from Sarrissa Precision:
And i started working on the NLF too. One season vikings and 2 games NFL later i am almost done the the straps. More details to come. Pictures will come later.
First Steps NLF companies
These steps take a seriously amount of time. This is the result of 2 tv-show seasons.
Flesh done. Grey green hats done.
corrected bases with sandals (so much effort, for a thing no to be seen with the static gras)
So my next step will be working on the sandals. With 42 bases i think this will take about the whole day.
Possible I will deviate a little bit with the straps, like i did with the greygreen hats.
Don’t be afraid that these look to lightly, with the dark wash they will be perfected.
NLF started
These were assembled and black coated some time ago. Added 2 shades of grey dark grey and grey and did a thinned nuln oil over this. Not spectacular.
42 bases. 143 VCs.After this comes the first real time consuming step. Paint the flesh. I’m unsure, if i should do the feets, because under the grass they will possible be not visisble. When these all parts are done i will add a agrax earthshade over everthing.
41 to go.
