The second diorama is the latest one I made called "May God Help My Marines...". A squad of Marines moves down a street in Hue as a corpsman attends to the wounded Marine that was operating the Mule and a mortar round exploded next to him.
Well I actually have two (2) dioramas that I wouldn't mind if they were chosen by the Marine Corps to be displayed at our museum. The first one I'm very proud of since it actually made the 'Reader Gallery' of the April 2019 FineScale Modeler magazine. I call it "Charlie At The Wire" as NVA sappers are spotted near the outer wire perimeter at the Khe Sanh Combat base during the 1968 siege. Three sniper teams converge to eliminate the well-trained sappers before they open a path through the barricade.

I would submit my F/A-18A from Desert Storm. The base is about 20"x20". The base is all sandpaper made to match Shaikh Isa AB in Bahrain where these fighters flew from.
without the base
I'm wondering, Is he deterimining if they would like it for display by seeing it in person or from pictures? I wasn't quite clear on that and was thinking about it being shipped and returned reading the thoughts up above on the bayonet And how it would be tough to ship that well protected.
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
I was there a few years back and when they first opened. Great museum and definitely worth a visit. As for a model, don't have one in mind, but happy to build something they specifically want and donate it. Here's a b57 that I built for a vietnam War DFC medal recipient. https://waihobbies.wkhc.net/index.php/37-models/sky/vietnam-and-the-cold-war/126-b-57-canberra

Below is the model of Vietnam era ONTOS M50A1 that I submitted through a mutual friend which was safely delivered and accepted for display.

The National Museum of the Marine Corps is a Monument to Honor, Courage & Commitment. A tribute to U.S. Marines - past, present, and future. The Museum is situated on a 135-acre site adjacent to Marine Corps Base at Quantico, Virginia under the command of Marine Corps University. www.usmcmuseum.com
A member of the Board of Trustees through a mutual friend has recently asked if there are members of FineScale Modeler's Forums that have Marine Corps related models, figures, planes, helicopters, amphibious assault vessels or dioramas they would like to have displayed in the museum.
Selection of the displays will be conducted by the Museum staff; my only task is to make the request public within our Forums and forward information to the Museum contact. If you are interested in having your Marine Corps model on display in the National Museum please post no more than one or two pictures on this thread with any provenance that you feel will explain the importance of the subject.
