Hi all,
just thought i'd post my latest creation, the Verlinden 120mm Navy Seal, this figure is no longer in production and was gifted too me in kit form by a close friend who was having a clear out of kits he'll never build.
The figure is set in the delta region of Vietnam, the idea behind the small vignette is that this particular seal team when in on a snatch & grab mission to abduct a VC tax collector only the ran into a full company of NVA regular troops he decided to stick around a fight it out rather than melt into the jungle.
The basic story is this; military intelligence has messed up and the brown smelly stuff has hit the fan, big time ! the discarded weapon on the ground announces that one of the team has been wounded ( although not visible in the vignette) and that the point man with his shot gun is laying down suppressing fire whilst the rest of the team extract the wounded too a small clearing waiting to be lifted out by helicopter. Meanwhile the VC are closing in real fast, as you can see by the 2 bullet holes in the tree truck and the empty ammo casings hint that the seal team are in a serious firefight with ammo running low. When the radio man was asked how close the enemy was, his reply "Right here, right F**king now baby!" (a quote from the book Phantom Warriors)
Anyway judge for yourselves and tell me what you think!
