discussion US Vietnam based figures in 1:35

[pjgtech]

As part of my ongoing US Icons GB and an upcoming Vietnam Diorama that I will be building, I have a small selection of 1:35 scale figures that would be suitable for both these. I tend to just build a couple of figures at a time and place them as part of another build, but, as I have a fair few to build for these I am doing a separate thread for the figures only.
A couple of the figures are 3D printed Resin based from Temu/Ali Express, (can't remember which TBH!)

A couple of MP figures....


A couple of US Tank/vehicle rider figures....



Plus I have a Master Box (MB) set of Vietnam figures called, "Somewhere in Saigon", featuring a couple of keen US troops, two ladies of questionable repute and their "minder"..... I should be able to cobbles together some sort of scene from this little lot..... I may even find/add a few more, so I have a good choice to select from.

Bagged figures from Temu/Ali X..... also found another couple of US Vietnam troops that I bought a while back, so will prolly use those too...




And so started some of the figure assemblies....

And then on to some minor filling and then some priming.... NB: using AK black primer

It always amazes me how figures suddenly become more "Lifelike" or "Human" once the flesh tones have been added.
They have all been primed and had a first rough flesh coat added, to be tidied up later.
I have also started on the US uniform colours. The "Ladies" will be suitably brighter in clothing.....
There's also lots of detail that needs to be highlighted, touched up and brought out....
