I intend to add a US Army ‘Air-Cavalry “Blues” Platoon’ of a planned total of about 20 figures (Including casualty figures) this has been another longstanding project I want to complete with Flashpoint figures. I am looking to divide this pack into these two parts to make them more accessible, intentionally particularly useful for the players who are 3D printing vehicles This essentially has two components the ‘crew’ figures ( M60 gunners, Vehicle commanders and drivers ) and the ‘dismounted’ figures which first prompted the pack. I have recently added a US Army ‘Cavalry Platoon’ as a specialist US Army platoon which is conceptualized to crew a four ACAV-M113 Scout Platoon. … but I can do (and enjoy doing ) special packings especially for big orders. I have done this as custom-packing jobs already, (including a two Rifle Company and HQ “early 173 rd Airborne” force), but not really listed these as a regular item because I am flat out as it is with what I am offering already. I’ve had a longstanding goal of being able to offer the US Army Rifle and HQ platoons in “early war” (with M14s predominately), “Mid war” (essentially what I’m presenting now as a standard packing), and “late war” (more bush hats and bareheaded figures). US Army Rifle platoons being first-quality-controlled as they are laid out check for casting, weapons, ankles … and each time I see the Platoon come together. It has been an interesting and rewarding task for me to ‘custom’ a number of rifle platoons particularly the US Army rifle platoons as I have a good selection of figures that when required to lay out “ x18 US Army riflemen” I have twelve sculpts (in helmets) to choose from add to this M79 grenadiers, LAWs rockets, M60 gunners, leaders, RTO, medics etc. they always were really, but there was a short while where I was manufacturing just to get orders completed. I’ve been busy as ever recently with some bigger projects and thus have had a few items like US Army Rifle, HQ and Mortar Platoons listed as out of stock for a short bit but they are back !. Hi all, I hope you are well and in a happy place. I hope your 2023 has been good so far, and only gets better. ARVN Marines in contact with VC US Army and Mobile Riverine Force looking for VC I want to offer a tutorial on defensive wire making.

This should be a good year for 15mm Vietnam tabletop wargaming. There have already been a pair of large-ish ‘club’ orders come through, so it’s good to see some interesting big group projects underway out there. I’ve just now caught up on a swathe of orders that had arrived while I was away (in January) and I’m up to orders from the end of last week. Just a short G’day to let you know that I’m overtly back in the packing shed and working away. I am looking forward to the work I have ahead. Thanks for your patience and comradely-good-fellowship so far. I already have a few orders waiting including some sizeable ones that have been waiting for a few weeks already, but I am back in the saddle here at Flashpoint Miniatures and I’ll get these waiting orders moving. My efforts at adding M203 launchers to some USSF troopers. So… back to something more fun than reading medical journals and writing into the late night. My immediate role here is done, I’ve been honoured to even be invited onto the team to walk with (behind) the giants, and our submission is now in the hands of the serious career Medical academics, lawyers and bean counters. This has been a collaborative project where I have been academic-ing well above my ‘pay grade’, so I’ve had to focus diligently on all the reading and writing I need to do to keep up and make a worthwhile contribution to this. I’ve just been involved in a ‘once-every-five-years’ academic project to update the national ‘diagnostic guidelines’ that determine how (and by whom) Autism is diagnosed, and what happens afterwards, including access to funding for families who need it. I’ve just been away from FPM for a few weeks but am now happily back to the packing shed !īy way of brief explanation in my primary profession, I am a Physical Therapist (or “Physio” in our Australian dialect ) who since 1999 has had keen interest (and hands-on clinical practice and consultancy ) in the field of children with Autism and other related Neuro-Developmental disabilities.
