TSSD Viet Nam conversions - USMC (1 Viewer)

[binder001]

Here's a batch of Viet Nam US figures that I have converted for a friend. Notice that TSSD did NOT put the bipod on their M60 LMGs - these were usually not removed, in fact the spare barrel usually had a bipod attached.

Plus a few more. The left hand figure in the top photo is modified from a MARS Viet Nam figure.

Fantastic. Some of those poses are what I would imagine the TSSD series 2 figures could be.

Ya, pretty good!
I'm excited to see NVA conversions, more badly needed.

Interesting! I know it can be done, but one doesn't see that done often, and I know the spare barrels usually had a bipod on them as well. Machine gunners must have had good upper body strength - those things are pretty hefty to fire without support. They didn't call the M60 "the Pig" for nothin'.
