The Citadel Hue Tet 1968
Posted by MAC on Saturday, May 24, 2014 2:15 PM

 My Marine Corps League Detachment asked me to make a diorama that will be displayed in the New Jersey Viet Nam Museum I saw one made by Steve Zelenski and asked his permission to reproduce it He said okay and I hope I can do it justice It is about the U.S, Marines 1/5 retaking The Citadel in Hue during Tet Here's the start 

Thanks for looking all comments and critiques are welcomed

Great job on the brickwork. Beer Will you be using Dragon figures or resin?

This is the final installment of Delta 1/5 taking the Dong Ba Tower. The tower had to be taken so the Marines could advance into The Citadel

I only hope that I did them Justice

Thanks for looking

Quite an action packed scened Mac.

I've not seen the original, but like the look of this one.
