Verlinden is located in San Jose, CA and has a web site.
VLS resins sets are short run products, made with rubber molds rather than steel ones that are used to mold plastic parts. These molds have a short life and wear out after a few thousand shots.
Figures molded this way by VLS are seamless, but have pour lugs that have to be removed, as you can readily see here. Also, the parts should be washed with soap and water to remove any mold release from them. Which at times runs heavy. The pour lugs are best removed with a razor saw and the attachment point then sanded smooth.
This set consists of 7 tan resin parts: the medic has a seperate head, torso, arms and legs. He has a first aid kit in his left hand and a canvas equipment pouch in the right hand. He wears the field grey uniform. He has a white bib on his chest and white arm bands with red crosses on them. The first aid kit has a large white circle with a red cross on it. He wears a steel helmet with cammouflage netting on it and has 2 pouches on his belt.

I was willed this set and a lot of other VLS ones by a deceased fellow modeler who died of cancer years ago.
I have two of this figure set.
