Ken used 1/35 scale Dragon figures to depict U.S. Marines at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War in a scene he calls “Ridgerunners.” He carved a base from foam; mountains and rockwork are cast in Hydrocal gypsum cement and two-part epoxy; and the snow is from Woodland Scenics. Ken says, “I wanted to create a mini-museum display. The story of the Chosin Reservoir is an incredible tale.” He recommends the book The Last Stand of Fox Company, by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin (Atlantic Monthly Press, ISBN 978-0-87113-993-1).
