First look at Flashpoint Miniatures Vietnamese Villagers blister

May just as well post a quick snapshot of the content of the other of Flashpoint’s blister with Vietnamese civilians. Another varied mix of figures and with only one repeat from farmers blisters. At first glance it is actually a bit hard to see what poses are included in this blister. Two of the miniatures seem to be ‘ladies of the night’, perhaps a bit suspect subject for a ‘village’. A trio of mothers carrying kids on their backs strikes me as a more suitable choice, as do the generic peasants and the elderly gentleman with a cane. The repeat from farmers set, a mini that I’m already habitually calling ‘the village idiot’ is also appreciated; guess my village will have two of them. Finally, the most innovative sculpt of them all – the cyclist.

Minis are relatively clean and will require minimal cleanup before painting.  I’ll get back to you with the end result as soon as they’re done, maybe even this weekend.

Flashpoint Miniatures Vietnamese Farmers

To be frank, in my personal opinion 2015 has so far been a real SOB. Between serious illness in immediate family, shedload of work and me personally catching a rather nasty flu variant, wargaming was the last thing on my mind over last couple of weeks. Still, somehow I did manage to find time to finish this handful of Vietnamese farmers I’ve previewed in december. With paint on, they’re much nicer than initial impression would indicate.

Content of the blister is both thematic and useful from games perspective. Here’s how they turned out.
