I was putting this display together in anticipation of an elementary school display I do every year. I still need to acquire an armored crewman gas mask, and I may switch out the boots for a full leather pair, but I hope you all like it.
Thanks Vic

Nice display! Is this depicting Desert Storm or a more modern era?

Very nice! But go throw it in a pile of dust and sand and swish it all around a bit and then you will have it PERFECT LOL!
Very nice job on it by the way

Great display! I just purchased a grouping of CVC gear from the wife of a marine who was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and have been considering using it to make a display once I find boots for it. I am debating whether to use the DCU's that were with the set or to get a pair of the coveralls to display the helmet and gloves with to be more acurate.

This is EXACTLY 100% correct. I would keep the jungle boots. That is EXACTLY what we wore, and how it was worn in late 1990 - early 1991 (Desert Shield / Desert Storm). Nice Job A+ for accuracy right down to the CVC vest, gloves, helmet, & suit. Takes me right back to my days as a LCpl in the 2nd LAI Bn where we rode the LAV-25 initially through the deserts of Saudi Arabia and then later for the "Storm" part, in the sands of Kuwait. Know one had helmet covers on the CVC Helmets at this time. Some did spray paint them a tan color, and some put some of the vehicle netting on them. Most were the original factory green.
Cheers, and Semper Fi. John
