You should read the book if you get a chance, it's really really a great book and the Rodger Young plays an important part.

In real life, Rodger Young was a Congressional Medal of Honor winner on New Georgia. His squad got pinned down by a Japanese machine gun and were all going to die as they had very little cover. Rodger attacked it directly and eliminated the nest with a grenade, despite taking point blank fire the whole way. His left arm and rifle and most of the left side of his body were badly shot up and useless, but he continued to advance on the position. He actually threw the grenade as he was shot directly in the face from 15 feet away. He saved the lives of everyone else there that day. They wrote a song about it. Truly a hero.

It is my Rodger Young but it isn't my creation. That is the authentic prop that was used in the movie "Starship Trooper." It was one of the many props that was hooked to the space station in the movie. I was so impressed with the RY that I hunted down one of the props, bought it and made a display case to show it off. The prop is only about 6-inches long. The picture you see is the ship in the display with a background and legend I made for it. I think I need to light the display case.

So...IT IS THE REAL RODGER YOUNG...prop! Big Smile [:D]

Thanks maddafinga, I like it too. Too much; I spent too much money to buy it.


That's pretty cool.

I heard the quick version of the Rodger Young story but not as much detail as you gave maddafinga. Thanks for the more detailed story!

BOY, are we really off topic! I don't think anyone else is bothering to read this thread. OK, if there is anyone left to read then there are NO MORE GOOD AIRBRUSHES FOR $150-$200...is there?
