Modeling and Painting Vietnam Wargames

The Vietnam War was a titanic struggle between American-backed Free World Forces and determined Viet Cong insurgents and tough NVA regulars. There were desperate battles in jungle-flanked rice paddies, plantations, woodland hillsides, and on city streets.

There are painting guides for American, Anzac, French, and North and South Vietnamese forces, including characters from Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, and Platoon. Tutorials advise on building military vehicles, boats, helicopters, and landscapes of Vietnam,
from rural villages to Hue’s ancient Citadel. Techniques cover 20mm and 28mm in metal, soft plastic, hard plastic kits, resin models, 3D printing, MDF buildings, and XPS foam scenery.
