Getting back into models after a long, long, long time.
I'm now retired and served with Charlie Company 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969. I was a sergeant in charge of an M-60 Machine gun squad (Grunts).
What I would love to do is create dioramas of what I saw over there. I have experience in dioramas as I dabbled in taxidermy for several years and am now an artist (oils and computer art).
Would love to get back into things and have my sights set on an 8-inch gun, M-110A1. But as luck would have it, I understand these are now discontinued. I have searched all over the internet to no avail.
Another pet project I would like to do is a complete Firebase (LZ Jeannie up in I-Corps area in a place known as "The Street Without Joy"). This LZ had six 105mm and was usually guarded by a single Company of grunts. I have an upstairs area to build it in and as it was a small LZ, at 1/35 scale it will take some room, but I do have it.
