Character and uniform are not included in this package.
Most of this stuff is smart propped to either the gear or the character and contains useful morphs.

Highly detailed textures are provided and more are scheduled to be released as freebies.

This was an early render before the clothing textures were finished, but this is one supercool set.

There will be a whole lot of Vietnam related products coming in the next few days, so keep an eye out.

And Panos, those poses are superb, they work like a dream. Never been so easy to set up a character before.

here's some info on it that I found tonight...
Many of our men in Vietnam used cotton bandoleers to carry their M-16 magazines, preferring them to bulky ammo pouches on their equipment belts. Bandoleers enabled them to reload quicker and to hit the ground and crawl better, and carry less weight. One bandoleer weighed 2 ounces and carried 140 rounds in seven 20-round magazines; two ammunition pouches weighed 20 ounces and carried 120 rounds in six 20-round magazines.

Looking good.

'Leaky stroke' ciggarettes :) heh

what are the other brands called?

I have been looking for oh so long for a machine rifle with a strap. Not to mention all the other wonderful gear. You don't know how happy this makes me. Awsome work!!!!! Finally my daz desert soldier will be ready for combat. Will post a render soon. Love esther

Dave-So, canvas bandoliers will be part of a Vietnam add-on I am preparing as we speak.
Stonemason, besides the Leaky Stroke cigarettes you also have a choice between Saigon, Gamal and Narbloro --all of them less lethal than bullets......

Looking good! You mentioned a lot more Vietnam stuff...? I'm looking forward to it. No paypal, will you have everything Content Paradise? Renderosity?

Great stuff. Will renderoasity be handling ittoo?

The attention to detail on this set is outstanding. Even down to the stiitching on the pouches.  I particulary like the health warning on the ciggie packs :) It's the perfect compliment to EDW's BDU's.

I like the wristwatch too and would have bought the set just for that alone. Love esther

If you don't have or like paypal it's available at Contest Paradise.

SydneyKeys- that's another excellent image. Please keep uploading your images to the Vanishing Point Gallery. :)

Very very nice set, I'll be picking this up in the morning, Panko. I've been wanting a set like this since I first got into poser. As an ex-army G.I from 88-92 I've used all of this 'Nam era gear except the backpack and bed roll, while the new gear was phased into our units.

One minor nitpick; the M9 bayonet wasn't used during the Vietnam War. The M7 bayonet was, along with the M6.  The M9 was developed in the early 80's and wasn't adopted by the US Military til the late 80's, I believe. My unit didn't even get them unti the Oct of 1990 during Desert Shield.

You can check http://www.army.mil/fact_files_site/bayonet/index.html for an image of the M7 and brief history of the bayonets in service, and http://www.m9bayonet.com/ for more detailed info on the M9's history. 

Still, this is the coolest and most accurate set I've ever seen, not to mention the detail of having a sling strap on the M-16. That alone would prompt me to pick up the set ;)

Moonbiter, you are absolutely right about the historical slip on the M9 bayonet --glad you brought this up. You see, I originally intended to include a M7 --which I had already made previously and launched as a freebie for my weapons packs-- but as I was getting lots of requests from people who were asking me for a M9 that could be used as a combat knife as well as a bayonet I decided to make this one allowance to historical accuracy.

I hope I’ll be forgiven…. :)

On an upcoming Add-on I’ll take care to include M7/M6 --plus a Ka-Bar commando knife.

Ah I see, well no problems here Panko ;) I personally liked the M9 better. Heh. I likely use it for my 'Armageddon' renders, but the M7 will be nice for a historically acurate render, I envisioned when I saw this set.

My order is pending through Pay Pal, due to a mistake with using e-check rather than my debit so I'll have to wait a couple of days for it to process before getting my grubby mits on the set and those new ruins. I'm really impressed with the look and direction that items are taking over at VP.

This set is really awesome, Panko. I like it and hope, there will be more themed packages. I personally would like to see some Russian or Italian Military stuff. The Bersaglieri of the Italians spring in my mind.
