I dispensed with the Dragon figures and used the excellent ones from Master Box....The long standing members will recognise them from my Iwo Jima model. Cheating perhaps, but I had lost the will to live after putting together just one Dragon marine.
I have added a watercolour back ground to give a bit of depth to the composition and make it look like a small built up area with small alley ways.
I have taken the pictures in B&W, I think this gives a better 'Period atmosphere'.
You will notice the absence of gun straps.....Whilst reading about the Pacific Theatre, I came across a bit about some American units dispensing with these, as they kept getting caught up in the foliage...So I left them off too, less work!
Anyway, I hope you approve, and as always, all comments and suggestions received with a smile......
Cheers,
Ron
For some reason the pictures have appeared before the words...sorry!
