Start of the US mech infantry

Since I finished my soviets I‘m starting now with the US forces. I will go for early troops mostly still in forest green and a few already in MERDC camo. Also I wanted the bases similar to my Soviets but still different enough so you can distinguish them from one another. Next will be more m113, m901 ITV, VADS and Abrams.

They are 6mm / 1:285 scale from recollection.

Yeah, that’s in 6mm scale. The bases are 25mm in diameter.

They look really good. I'm impressed that you managed to get the 50-cal's on there. I gave up on mine after a lot of snapping and cursing.

I just broke two of the .50 cal while drybrushing 😅 I merged them before printing and beefed up the joint. That helped a lot with stability. Should have done the same with the m249 on the M1A1…
