Ive got a project brewing in the back of my mind, a USMC Nam era fire fight. I discovered the talented sculpting of Vladimir Demchenko and his Bravo 6 figure line back when they first came out. I had the pleasure of reviewing one of his first releases for Armorama and was impressed then. Well shortly afterward he started doing a series of USMC figures during Tet in 1968. I finally obtained a couple from the series from Military Miniatures Warehouse and they just arrived today. All I can say is WOW! I started with #35028 "Cover Me!" and #35029 "Machine Gun Team". The poses are outstanding, and the facial expressions are just fantastic. Each figure is unique on its own, both in face and uniform. The "Cover Me" figure even has a bandaged leg and shows where his trousers were torn by the medic to care for the wound. I can't wait to get started on these guys and hopefully I can do as good a job painting them as was done on the box art. (images courtesy of Bravo 6)
