Flashpoint Vietnam 15mm Sampans, Village, and Jungle Terrain

[bigjackmac]

All,

I have been remiss!  Slacking in my blogging duties!  For quite some time now I've been working on Vietnam stuff in 15mm.  I've painted up and posted US Marines, US Army, ARVN, Australians, North Vietnamese Army, Vietcong, helicopters, tanks, amtracs.  I've even posted three battle reports:

But what I haven't posted is all my wonderful terrain!  So first, understand that I've had quite a few trees of various types for quite some time, so I'm not showing those here.  But I picked up more trees, as well as a bunch of village stuff, and that's what I want to show you here.  Most everything is from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, though there are some banana trees from Pegasus and a few odds and ends from Flytrap Minis.


Here's all the stuff, with the intent being to make my table look better and more authentic.  I think it works


A Buddhist shrine with coconut tree and bamboo.  Yeah, I know bamboo is green, I just wanted it to stand out.  In any case, to see a whole lot more photos, please check the blog at:

Having finished up Operation Pay-Off, I've got time on my hands and lots of ideas.  One that has recently popped back in my head is a return to Ivan's "No End In Sight" platoon-level rules.  We'll see what happens.

V/R,

About half an hour ago I drove past a lavish hedge of bamboo with green leaves and light straw-coloured stems. You can indulge your tastes with a clear conscience.

Thanks fellas, I appreciate it!  Unfortunately I haven't been busy, haven't had time, this is all stuff I should have posted two months ago.  But things are slowing down and I should get back in the groove.

FK - where are you that you're driving past bamboo stands?  Sounds interesting.

Is this a sort of Pendraken "Where's Wally?"?

My turn! My turn!

Where's Westmarcher?

Actually, where is Westmarcher? He's been very quiet lately.

I passed them coming down that little soi one uses to avoid the rush hour "no right turn" at the traffic lights between Intamara and Vipawadee. And I'm not here on holiday; live and work here.

I think I quoted the wrong post there, in my artless low-tech way.

FK,

I figured you live there, that's why I asked for a well-paying job

Bangkok, eh?  I haven't been in more than ten years, but spent quite a bit of time there, got to travel all over the country.  My wife is from Ubon Ratchathani.
