Guns up ! (1 Viewer)

The M60 team seem to be a bit low on Ammo with none being carried by the A Gunner !

Top notch, Steve. You've certainly done these figures justice in a most impressive setting. Foliage and background look excellent.

Nicely done!

Cheers Rob !

Thank you Fabien.

The plants you can find on ebay UK, mostly under Plastic Aquarium plants or Model Railway scenic plants, Palm trees are Collecta and K&C

Hope this helps.

Cheers Martyn !

I'm just a few chapters into a book by Johnnie Clark who was a Marine Corps Machine Gunner and is about his time in Vietnam and "Guns Up", the name of the book was the common call for the Marine Machine gun team to get into action and this is what inspired me to make this little diorama !

Brilliant work!
I've been adding to my Viet figure collection and hope to do a dio during the holidays. Where did you get those great looking ferns and other plants ?

Thanks,and look forward to seeing your dio Mike.
As you'd guess it all comes from China.
What looks like 1.30 scale Ferns are Model Railway Palm trees !
Look on ebay for Model Railway trees such as:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-Plast...4577aea54983de7e3d48|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2334524

Other than the K&C and CollectA Palm trees, all the plants are either from Model Railway or Plastic Aquarium Plants listings on ebay.

Great job.

 

[Horus]

Great job.

Thanks mate ! :salute::

Would like to see K&C do a few more figures with M60's from firing in prone position to kneeling, similar to SF gunner, standing firing from hip and walking carrying the M60 over a shoulder !
