Old Marine Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share #103 Posted September 19, 2017 Owen, thanks for the color reference, matching those colors is tough. I like your "designer" cactus planter. With some OD para cord, a grenade ring and one of those steel pots you could make a nice matching hanging planter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share #104 Posted September 19, 2017 I guess it's finished. At some point you have to just decide it's done, stop fiddling with it and move on to the next project. Here are some photos. Thank you all for your comments and observations and watching the progress. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheeltim Posted September 19, 2017 Share #116 Posted September 19, 2017 Awesome all the way around! I particularly like the view from the backside (post #112). Looks just like someone took a photo of the action while peering out of a foxhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Kraut Posted September 20, 2017 Share #121 Posted September 20, 2017 In every respect one of the best dios I have seen for a long time. Simply stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted September 20, 2017 Share #122 Posted September 20, 2017 I hope you don't mind, but I'm a photographer and graphic artist who enjoys the challenge of making model/diorama scenes look real. I took your backside photo into Photoshop and painted in a background of blasted & shredded palm trees (as seen in photos of the real battle), added dust and smoke from explosions, gunfire, etc., added some subtle blurring and exposure effects, and then dropped the color from your photo to make it look like a typical Signal Corps/Combat Photographer photo from the period. I hope you enjoy the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
