  I am currently on the second book by " John Stryker Meyer " .  Which are about MACV teams in Vietnam , in his team one of the Vietnamese is named  " Hiep  " , he was an interpreter , if memory serves me well , he never took those Sunglasses off , even in the dark !!!  I have named my figure after this real life character in Johns books . The link for " Quang " will give you further info on MACV- SOG teams . But here Hiep is kitted out in an old US Bar M.G Magazine belt , it held more magazines than standard U.S M.16 pouches , and a lot of S.F guys used them . He is wearing an ARVN pack , and has plenty of Frags and other equipment taped to his extraction harness . I think he looks very cool in those shades , and if I had not seen plenty of photos of him wearing them , I would not of believed he went out in the field that way .

Looks totally appropriate for what you described. Well done.

Another fine looking figure, and interesting history. Now I have that Corey Hart song stuck in my head.

Dang Chip, that's pretty badass.

Thanks for the kind words , I had to google that song Mark .

That's really cool, the bar belt is also a nice touch.

I found a photo some time ago of a portuguese soldier wearing a bar belt, apparently they used them.

again, in combination with the thread on Quang, very interesting details. Both figures have a lot of individual personality.

Thanks for the further kind comments .
