Hello all,

I wanted to take a minute to post the major project I have been working on the last few months...my brother-in-law recently retired from the USMC after 30 years of service. My family and I drove to North Carolina to be there for the ceremony where he passed his Sgt Major sword on to the next Sgt Major and then retired from Corps. As a gift to him I made a 3-pack of figures commemorating his time serving our country. I also made a picture book showing progress of the project and a shadow box to display them in.



beginning of the book...pages are in order:

You did a very nice job!!

How did it go over ?

Did he like it ?

Were did you get the 105 ?

He liked it a lot. Many of the other Marines there expressed how cool they thought it was. The 105 is just a vintage mountain howitzer...I cleaned all the stickers off and that was it. Ran out of time to detail it.
