Looks Great George.

I think you're going to be giving Larry lots of inspiration with this as I would guess he'd love to do something like that with all his Marines, but I'm guessing that he won't have the room to do it in 1/30th.

Again, Well done on the diorama George really does look great and I can feel a Pacific Scene coming on being inspired myself with you display. :salute::

Thanks very much...……………..the Pacific theater is special to me thanks to all those Pacific War themed movies they used to show on TV in the 1970's; Back to Bataan, Bataan, Gung Ho, None but the Brave, Merrill's Marauders, some good ones...………………….glad you like it.

Thanks very much; probably should have given Larry a heads up before I posted this one, he's liable to go face down in his oatmeal when he sees it...………………...glad I could inspire you or anyone when it comes to displays...………….
 
Your panoramic display of this battle makes you the master in this arena. Like the jungle aspect and the trenches are excellent. Just well done all round.:salute::, Robin.

Thank you so much Robin for the kind words; I do enjoy the panoramic look 1/72nd scale affords, I researched this one on and off for about a week, tried my best to get the look of the hill down right, I think it came out well, the only difference is the ground in the actual area was more of a dirt type vs the grass type I'm showing, but I don't have a way to replicate dirt for my displays.
 
One tabletop battle after another George! They sure are impressive mate.
