VIETNAM SAMS
By: Groundpounder


"Outside the Wire"

A couple of infantryman, outside the camp perimeter checking for boobie traps, Claymores that have been turned against them and other things that the VC & NVA spent the night doing. It was often said that Charlie owned the night!



"Como Check"

A RTO tests his communications capabilities with the firebase and base camp. He is also checking coordinates for some preplotted locations in case an artillery fire mission may be needed.



"The Blooper Trooper"

This is grenadier on my Nam infantry squad. The uniform is 21C's Jungle Fatiques. The pants have been stretched and soiled. The boonie has been soiled and shaped to my liking. The grenadier vest is from the Modern Force Recon set but these were in use in Vietnam as well. I have coated this with dust and sealed it. The full size M79 is 21C's and the sling is a custom made leather one made by my buddy Napalm In The AM. I love the way that sling hangs and looks. Thanks Napalm. -- GP



Nice work there Groundpounder! In my opinion, some of your finest work to date. And that shot of the RTO, if the Sam joints weren't there, I'd swear he was real! You're really getting good at customizing those soldiers now trooper. Keep it up! Special thanks for sending these in and sharing them with us. -- GL
