1st ID Vietnam

Post by sprueman »

Here are a few shots of a 1/10th figure

I’ve been working on. The figure represents a US Army radio operator(RTO) sometime during the Vietnam war. The piece is totally made from discarded plastics such as: sprure, disposable razor handles, and plastic flatware. If I did this right, here is a link to the how to.

I'm not sure when I'll paint or even if I will paint it, but if I do I'll post the finished photos.

This will be fun to watch
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
