ROK Marine Coy 1980's

I have been basing some of my older figures for CD Modern, of which Al and I are looking to engage a few games later this year. ESCI Modern US troops,...Well they were modern in the 1980's (The best decade). I have formed these into a ROK Marine Company, and hopefully will be able to field a Battalion. Painting vehicles is also underway.
Rifle Platoon, originally painted in 1989 I think. I just added a wash.
2nd Platoon stand. M16A1's with 30 round magazines, replaced in the late 1980's by the Daewoo K2.
Weapons Platoon with M47 Dragon. The ROK never operated the Dragon, but in times of emergency I am sure that there US allies operating in country would help them out, that's my story anyway.
Command stand, I like this Officer, the high port is a nice pose.
