"Lost in the Woods" 1/35 USMC Recon Team

Awesome Job!

Is the Sat Com. satillite of common use by troops? Just wondering, I thought It maight look good in one of my dioramas.

That's a neat, well put together diorama.  The figures and humvee look really good, too.  That has to be the biggest SATCOM antenna I've ever seen.  Most of the x-wing types I've seen are only maybe a foot or two tall on their stands, but that could be a type I just haven't run across.  I'm a computer guy, not a radio operator, after all. 

Still, you've got yourself an excellent dio.  Which one is the Lt that got them "lost"?

Nice set up and good ground work, but it says to me open grassland rather than woods to me.

The windshield is totally obscurred, maybe that's how they got lost.

Are these guys in camo face paint or are they all African-American? The skin tones look very dark, but maybe that's just the picture.

"Lost in the woods".... We used to call Fort Leonard Wood "Fort Lost in the woods."

Thats where I got the idea.  I remember my squad got lost during landnav training cause we had a dipstick who thought he knew everything. We were not happy.  SMOKE SESSION!!!!

Is that where you did AIT for your MOS?  I have never been there, but have friends who are MPs (and those guys busted my chops for not turning my headlights off when I was entering base at night time.)

Well you have an excellent diorama there.  I just want to say that the title is wrong.  Marine Recon teams don't get lost.  I think this is just another soldier trying to downplay the Marine Corps.  Marines are experts in land navigation and compass and map reading.  As a former Arty Scout Observer and Marine I can attest to that.  Nice dio though.  Oooraahh!!
