Hi all,
Scene depicts US Marines fight to retake Citadel of Hue from NVA and Viet Cong on Feb.1968 during Tet Offensive-Battle of Hue. All figures are BRAVO-6. Marines straight from the box, MP converted from Military cameraman. M151 Mutt is Academy with Legend update set. Walls and sidewalks are plaster.
I hope you like it.

Terrific. Did you extensively re-build the figures or scratch them?

The figures are BRAVO-6 figures, only MP figure is a conversion.

EXCELLENT !!! but I agree with David, that figure on the right should maybe be repositioned or else will be a statistic in a few minutes.
