"The Long Arm of the Magnificent Fourth"- Btry H, 3rd Bn, 12th Marines in Vietnam

I’ve begun my next project, but the figures I ordered were of poor-quality resin. Luckily/unfortunately I ordered 2 sets. Either the molds or the resin is bad, or they were skimping on the resin. Unfortunately, the artillery figures that I wanted for this project are either non-existent or already built (sic) along with the howitzer and put on the market for a steep price. They say you get what you pay for, and I sure did. Be advised that the last pic is the one that shows the substandard resin figures.

Well, all things considered, I finally finished the figures. They are donning the dirt and sweat of a hot summer in the 'Nam on a firebase. That is the only reason they are not wearing their flak jackets and gas mask cases. Now it’s onto the howitzer. All comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

They look great! Looking forward to all the action in whatever scene you’re planning. Figures make models so much better.

The figures look awesome. Especially the red mud on their boots, and trousers.

Thank you for the kind comments. I finally finished the build and priming of the howitzer. Now it’s off to painting, weathering and decaling it along with the boxes, extra rounds and aiming stakes.
