USMC_COLLECTOR Posted May 20, 2024 #1 Posted May 20, 2024 Hello! With more people in my group getting flaks we decided to finally do a Huê city reenactment. Here are the photos we took, let me know what you think so we can improve for next time! Every photo here was taken on a vintage Nikon camera with correct color film.
VNAMVET70 Posted May 20, 2024 #2 Posted May 20, 2024 When I served in Vietnam (1970-71), I used both black & white and color film. I could get some dramatic photos with B&W film. A really good book titled "The History of the Vietnam War"is a pictorial history of the war and half the photographs are black and white. By Douglas Welsh 192 pages. Highly recommend this book to all Vietnam Vets.

Rakkasan187 Posted May 20, 2024 #4 Posted May 20, 2024 Put the belt of ammo in the M60 if possible and give a belt to the gunner. Looks more convincing with a gunner having a belt. Leigh
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted May 20, 2024 Author #5 Posted May 20, 2024 The only m60 we were able to use was a cast metal one. Unable to be operated. I agree. 15 minutes ago, Rakkasan187 said: Put the belt of ammo in the M60 if possible and give a belt to the gunner. Looks more convincing with a gunner having a belt. Leigh
Rakkasan187 Posted May 20, 2024 #6 Posted May 20, 2024 Maybe take a small belt of the ammo,, (10-15 rounds and see if you can wire them to the feed tray... Just a thought, but everything and everyone look good in your impression.. Leigh

Gear Fanatic Posted May 29, 2024 #9 Posted May 29, 2024 looks great, I might've believed some of those photos were real!

Airborne_bro1944 Posted June 4, 2024 #12 Posted June 4, 2024 Good stuff! I plan on doing a late war Marine impression once I get a hold of a M55 Flak. Suckers are hard to find.
Boone68 Posted June 5, 2024 #13 Posted June 5, 2024 Looks so awesome with that film. Just got my M55 flak, need to wrangle some M14 mag pouches for my M14 now... Keep it up!
Boone68 Posted June 5, 2024 #14 Posted June 5, 2024 If you guys ever need an extra marine I'm your guy!
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted June 5, 2024 Author #15 Posted June 5, 2024 We’re planning another photo shoot so you’re man! 18 minutes ago, Boone68 said: If you guys ever need an extra marine I'm your guy!

sundance Posted June 29, 2024 #17 Posted June 29, 2024 How do you find locations to do these reenactments?
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted June 29, 2024 Author #19 Posted June 29, 2024 We knew a spot about an hour away that’s part ghost town, so we decided to go there. Just have to look and see where around you works best. 3 hours ago, sundance said: How do you find locations to do these reenactments?
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted June 29, 2024 Author #20 Posted June 29, 2024 Maybe I’m a pacifist? Not quite, airsoft 1911 with broken mag release. It wouldn’t take the magazine into the feed well. Good catch. 2 hours ago, Marshallj said:

Marcum Posted November 25, 2024 #24 Posted November 25, 2024 Where did you do this? My group was going to do a Hue event but we couldnt find a spot.
