A Giant Vietnam War Historical Miniature Painting Commission

We've done orders for Battlefront's ‘Flames of Vietnam’ range before. This, however, might be the single largest one we've done.

It was three armies: American Air Cavalry, NVA, and Vietcong. The whole lot were done to Showcase quality. This was an excellent budget and the painters really went to town!

My favorites (after the helicopters) are the Vietcong. They look quite unusual given the greens and browns you’d normally see for 20th Century wargame painting. The Vietcong seem more appropriate for a fantasy game. Though, one with AK-47s.

Unfortunately, Battlefront is still recovering from supply chain issues, so most of these are not available to buy from their webstore time. However, I hope they take the opportunity to digitally re-sculpt some of these minis. The vehicles are fantastic. However, as anyone who has seen Museum Miniatures figures, there is a new bar for what manufacturers can do with 15mm. It is one, I suspect, will give 28mm manufacturers a run for their money!
