U.S.M.C. in Fallujah (2004)
A common enough topic to have inspired many kitbashes from others. Just adding mine to the mix with variations.
Vaguely remembered a book ("No True Glory") on the battle written by American author Bing West, guess that'll be on my next 'to read' list. Of course there's also that famous media photo of Marine SGT Brad Kasal emerging wounded from an insurgent occupied structure that's one of the most memorable USMC images from Operation Phantom Fury.
Bash was put together mostly from items laying around in the parts bin. The only real purchase would probably be the Neo3 nude & the interceptor vest which was stripped when i purchased the DML EOD ('William') boxset last year ( i only wanted the EOD suit).... guess at least now some of those stripped items are being put to good use.
