Verlinden's New Items of August
 
Rise and Shine Vietnam
2792
1:35th scale
$17.95
“Gooood Morning Vietnaaaam” to these two GI’s who look like they haven’t really had a good night sleep at all.
The two soldiers are seen inside their swags – one not wanting to rouse whilst the other contemplates the next step towards waking up. This set in cream resin features the men in their sleeping bags, their pack and two jerry cans, a full duffel bag and the soldier’s jackets with their packs and most importantly their weapons on top of them keeping them clean of the dirt and grime.

1/35th scale Bugs, mosquitoes and ants sold separately….

SGT. US Army ETO
2793
1:16th scale
$32.95
This “extra-large Sarge” from the WWII European theatre of war. He looks pretty much the archetypical Sergeant with years of experience and a weather-beaten look.

Cast in cream resin he carries a large Thompson sub-machine gun  and some grenades hanging from his crowded webbing with an entrenching shovel, spare med pack and another satchel packed with who knows what – probably whoop-ass!

Brick House Ruin Resin  
2794  
1:35th scale
$29.95
This ruined house is crafted from cream resin and you can see the structure and pointed windows hint at a European or colonial building in the Far East. The tall walls form onto a derelict corner you can either fill with rubble or cracked timber. The frames of the windows are still in and you can make your own cracked glass from Perspex or maybe your clear take away container from lunch!

Hamburger Hill Vietnam  
2795  
1:35   
$17.95
This G.I. from the Vietnam war is taking cover on “Hamburger Hill” - or Hill 937 – but it can be anywhere in South East Asia in the time as well.  This Sergeant in the army is seen is seen resting against the mud on the hill. 

He is wearing jungle fatigues, an M1 helmet and large knife with a full pack on his belt with ammo for his M-16 rifle. He also has a large surprise for the NVA with a LAW rocket launcher along to clear some bunkers. This soldier and the base are made from cream resin and make up a little vignette by themselves.
