The Vietnam War unfolded in villages, cities, jungles and bases, involving forces from several nations. Patrols, communications, vehicles and local encounters offer many different ways to tell the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VC Sampan Combo adds a subject from the Vietnamese side of the conflict. Using figures from different forces within the same setting helps show the breadth of participants and the complex conditions of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatercraft change the shape of a scene by giving figures a point of arrival, departure or passage. A landing or harbour can be made meaningful with just a few carefully arranged characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider setting the piece in a Vietnam-era village, patrol route, firebase or jungle scene. A coherent background is often the difference between an attractive miniature and a memorable historical vignette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave space along the imagined shoreline or quay to keep the purpose of the craft clear. Figures boarding, disembarking or watching from shore can link the model to the larger event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo expand the scene, look towards Vietnam-era infantry, civilians, vehicles and equipment. Together, compatible subjects can add a sense of movement, scale and period detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece also invites an appreciation of the variety of people and situations in the war. It is a useful reminder that a historical scene can be told through an individual detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419636752666,"sku":"VN-S03","price":415.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/VN-S03.jpg?v=1794306755","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/vn-s03","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
