Thanks Stefan.

Really amazing figures. I will buy at least one set of each.

Vietnam is the period I like the most.

If you are into Vietnam have a look at HobbyFan´s vietnam figures. They are excellent. If you want photos of the unbuilt figures tell me the set you want to see. I have all of them.

Have a nice day,
Angel

Looks pretty good. The hair is a little too long for my taste. Why do most resin Vietnam figures look like hippies though? Most soldiers did actually adhere to grooming standards, which included short hair.

Hi Angel,

yes i know the high quality of Hobby Fan Figures. I have nearly all of them. I convert them a little bit and make LRRP, Seals etc. of them. I will post some in progress Photos at the weekend. If i have Questions of some sets i don´t have i know now how to ask . Many thanks for this.

Hi Gino,

you are right but the hippie look is right by this Figures because they are from the Movie PLATOON. At the end of the war the moral and lack of dicipline by Uniforms and haircuts was normal.The hippie sarge is Elias. I think the look of the faces is absolut great and you can clearly identify how actor he means.The sculptor have already done Elias, Chris, Barnes and i have read that King will also be includet. How many more he does i don´t know. But this is great and i hope they will be aviable in the near future. For me it would be difficult to get my hands on them. I must find a shop in germany or maybe lucky models. Will see what happend. I will take a look at planet figure to every news.

greetings
Stefan

your right many do look like hippies
vietnam is a subject i like most! i am doing dragon us marines and they have short hair

I didn't realize they were characters from Platoon. They are fitting for the movie, but not reality. Don't use Platoon as a history lesson, it is mostly Hollywood B.S. Your second statement is not true at all. Discipline and lack of morale were not big issues by the end of the war. Long haircuts and hippies in Vietnam are a product of Hollywood, which is mostly made up of long-haired hippies itself.

Of course, it's hollywood. and because it's hollywood there is no absolut claim for accuracy. but don't we draw our imagination for creating dioramas from movies as well?
why else should people buy figures like captain jack sparrow, asterix or indiana jones just to name a few? or remember feldwebel steiner?

in my opinion these figures are great and i really consider them worth buying.

just my 2 cents.

The second and third links don't work

Gino,

I think you make interesting and good points regarding the treatment of war by hollywood however, I think it should be noted that Oliver Stone who directed Platoon was a veteran of Vietnam and as such I believe he was attempting to illustrate some of his experience of the war in the film. As you correctly say it should not be used as a history lesson, However
, because of Stone's experience it may give a better incite to war than other films of the genre

With best wishes

Jerry

Thanks for discussion.guys!

Vietnam is my favourit theme and of course,I saw many books,footage and documental photos,but I sculpted

Hi Vladimir

Putting aside the various discussions not only here but on the linked sites about accuracy as regards real soldiers versus Hollywood I just wanted to say how I really admire your work.

I saw these on the original site some time ago and thought them outstanding. It's difficult enough to get a visual likeness of somebody at any scale. If I'd have been told these were 1/16th scale I would have said outstanding, but to see that these are 1/35 is amazing.

I hope all those who want these figures get their wish soon and at the same time I look forward to seeing many more figures sculpted by you in the future.

You should be in great demand with this level of skill and I wish you every success.

Alan

Best regards
