Tourist signage for the random sightseer😂   Scott

I was thinking about getting some footless mannequins. I want to see how uniforms look on them 

Japanese vehicles, midget submarines, and one of the coolest tank pictures I have ever seen from the Pacific War.   Scott

Japanese coastal and anti-aircraft guns, as well as mortars and other heavy equipment.   Scott

These are a continuation of the previous post I did on Kiska and Attu. These include many Japanese weapons, vehicles, coastal positions, as well as some of the US personnel to include a cool shot of some of the Kiska Task Force guys and signage erected while the war was still ongoing on Attu. All are from a massive collection received at Michigan's Military Heritage Museum. They were taken by various photographers for Colonel Glen Heavenridge, a squadron XO stationed at Attu from 43-45 and prior to that at Adak.      Scott

I wish I could help. But I can’t. Dad used to tell us about all the Japanese items he sent back home from Saipan and Okinawa. He would get annoyed because almost none of it made it back to his parents. The most interesting to me was a Japanese folding bicycle. I would have loved to have had that. Best regards for the book!  mikie

My love of modeling and militaria naturally leads to military models and Dioramas. I love modeling anything, but building dioramas is always the best here’s a Belgian home I recently built for a panther diorama. Really happy with it and does technically count as two fer!

Nice pictures and find.  thank you for sharing.

So, If I understand you correctly and please correct me if auto translate or auto correct didn't work as you intended, but it looks as if you are saying no one should ever do anything at any time because of what?...the out come in the future is unknown to you? First off your first statement wrong. The CCCP fell after a number of US Presidents did this and that untill they collapsed under thier own weight. Not one shot fired, no boots on the ground. I have no idea if you remember that, but history records it. What political goals are you talking about? The conditions stated are the goal. Degrade the military capabilities across the board, all of it including command and controle. As to what the people of Iran do is beyond me. The Crown Prince is laying the ground work for what he wants to do. Maybe the CIA and or Mossad have plans in place. I have no idea, but we do know the military planning has been years in the making  I suspect other plans are in play. As for oil, that too has been adressed. A number of web sites  cover geo politics talk about oil and all the fail safe messures put in place since the oil crisis ofthe 70's. You might wish to do what I didand dig down on that. They say the same thing. What you see on allof them is oil hitting 100 USD a barrel. The US and other countries have lots of oil, but it is not practcal to tap it at under 100 USD. The geopolitical sites break it down. The Straight of H is a sting, that is true, but it is not long term. Again the geo political sites will explaine why. This is what your missing on the Straight. It's short term effect on us, that is being addressed now as we speak. As for the Republic of Iran, it's simple. No oil equals no money. No money equals no power. You are going to have to explaine to me how your power dynamic works. Nothing in this life is free as I understand it. Let the Republic of Iran shut down the Straight, they are cutting thier own throats, not ours. Last but not least, we have had 47 years of this from them. If you think they were playing by the rules you are wrong. They played by thier own rules for far tool long. They ran thier game now it's time for them to fade away. if you do not have money you can't play, no money for proxys, no money for weapons of any kind, no money to pay your troops, no place to live, nothing.We do not need boots on the ground, The fall of the CCCP is the proof of concept,
