    Hi everyone,
    Just completed this 1/9th bust, converted from two existing figures . The figures are from Mitch Military Models ( Vietnam Grunt sculpted by Pavol Ovecka ) and the SK Miniatures ( 1st Cav, Vietnam 1970, sculpted by Carl Reid ). This is to be a 70th birthday present to my brother, who fought with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and took part in the only combat jump during the Vietnam War, in February 1967. This is only my third attempt at painting a bust, so I'm aware that there is lots of room for improvement.
    Thank You for looking.

    Bournouna, Gee, that looks familiar! LOL! Good job! I see that patch turned out fine also! I'm sure your brother will be very happy with it. All the Veterans I have donated figures to, really appreciate them!
