feeds@yuku.com (piesix) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:34:49 GMT

New to this board. Learned of it via OSW and it was recommended by TrenchfootJoe. So a quick bio of myself is in order...

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous...

I'm Erik, I've been in the hobby about 5 years (although not really active over the last year). My main focus is Cold War-era brushfire wars (i.e., Rhodesia, Angola, El Salvador, etc.), but always enjoy a nice VN figure

I'm 41, beautiful wife, no kids. I spent 4 years in the Navy aboard USS TRIPOLI (LPH 10) (an amphibious assault ship), and 5 years in the USNR with the 31st Naval...

Hello from France

feeds@yuku.com (mangin62fr) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:00:37 GMT

Hello I began a collection of 1/6 VN era action figures about 1 year ago. I now have 11 of them in my collection. I understand that it is not the major part of 1/6 industry, and in France not a lot of people are interested by this period. In France I couldn't find a specific forum related to this war, that's why I join here. I'm mainly interested in finding documentation, and also potential news about models to come. I'm not a big collector like some of you who have dozens and...

Not easy

feeds@yuku.com (dudulle6976) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 06:00:49 GMT

Hi
To begin with, let me tell you, I am french and I understand very little English.
My name is Pascal, I am 41 years old and I collect action figures for 2 years. I live near Rouen not 200km ratings of the Normandy landings in 1944.

If I agree with you here because I love the history of the Vietnam War, with a preference for the period from 1945 to 1954.
In France, we watch a lot of films and television series speaking of the period with the United States Army. I am...

Glad to Be Aboard

Many of you will know me as Spike Team ASP from the OSW. I had wanted to keep that handle over here, but I had some technical problems registering here. ASP is the SOG recon team the man whose MIA bracelet I've worn for almost 30 years, George "Ron" Brown, was assigned to when he and his team were lost in March, 1968. I work for the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office as the Southeast Asia team chief, so my interest in SOG and Vietnam has both a personal and professional...

Well to be honest right off I know very little about Nam but I really enjoy learning about history so when Mutt71 and Jon Math told me about the board I had to come check it out. I have two uncles who both served in it and they dont talk about it which I guess isnt that odd at all for the vets from that time. I met up with Mutt71, Jon Math, Irish70 and Sparky at Tonys Toys in Fall River one Saturday afternoon and they havent been able to get rid of me since. I am really into a different...
