                        Here are a few shots of a 1/48th scale figure I just completed. The subject is an M60 (pig) Machine gunner humping up a hill during the Vietnam war.



                        I hope you enjoy, any comments , complaints or concerns welcomed

                        Nice job!

                        The skin tones are very realistic, also I like the faded look of the uniform. Sweat, rain & sun were extreme in 'Nam and your soldier depicts this well.

                        I swear, I expected a picture of a GI roasting a massive boar on a spit somewhere in the 'nam. Stick out tongue Excellent paintwork though! Yes

                        Darn, I thought this was a porn posting by the title.

                        Thanks for the kind words, and sorry if the title was misleading.

                        Yeah, I was almost afraid to open the thread...last time I posted a vignette involving a soldier with a pig I was banned for 3 months...

                        I thought the M-60 was called a "hog", not pig...but what does an old German warrior know? The US copied our MG42 anyways...

                        Anyway, as far as this little vignette---I say, YesYes...
