I'm actually kind of enjoying this map making lark,.
A small village (and its associated Rice Paddies) astride of the highway & rail line & to the North of Bong Son...


 

... still awhile to go.

This is about BFC's piss-poor constellations, sub-standard starscape & non-existent (!) planets again... isn't it Steve?
You mock the astrologically inclined wargaming community at your peril...
... for shame, for shame.

At one end of the simplicity scale we have my quick conversion of the old @Michael Dorosh scenario "Objective Normandy"...



At the other end of the scale, @Combatintman has finished a giant "Sea of paddies" style map representing the region around Ap Bac...

Most of my various blender experiments have been pretty disappointing today, however I did get this little baby working...

By default, all rifle grenadiers carry two weapon models... the primary weapon with a dud GL & a GL with a dud primary weapon.
You don't notice the switch normally because both weapons models are visually identical.
I just changed the GL model to the imported M79 & then the primary small arm to our M16's... since yesterday I've changed the GP-30 sound too.
Job done.
@Aquila-CM had figured out that this could be done when he saw the weapons models too.

Your wish is mine command. This is what I came up with for the moment.
 

 
Plus a People's Army type dude.
 

 
And a new and improved regular soldier.
 

 
 
Here's what they all look like together including the militia guy from a few weeks ago.

Thanks guys... although I feel a little guilty as I should have been playing around with blender last night rather than playing with @MOS:96B2P's Consulate evacuation map (I'm pretty certain that'll be getting the H&E conversion treatment).
However, I did realise I wasn't as happy with the armour portraits as I thought I was.
@Mord I don't suppose you could help us out with an Asian tankman as well?

Delta map is getting closer:

As per the @sburke inspired concept, the underlying vehicle is a BTR-60 & is a working APC.
That part of the test worked well... there were probably issues with hatches & stuff but they are really low on my list of priorities.
