discussion CHOSIN FEW at Funchilin pass

[BigGreg]

Ok everybody... since I moved from the other forum I'm posting here my future... probably NEAR future project.
Korean war was always a forgotten war and i always wanted to do something to remember that conflict so i decided to make Diorama od the infamous Fucilin Pass where the Marines and some British Royal Marines had to cross a narrow gap on a hidroelectric station in North Korea. Nov-Dec 1950.
Here i'll post the inspirational picture that i will be using to make the Diorama.

The stash is growing. Got a start date yet??

 

[Jim R]

Hi Greg
Great idea for a dio. To my shame I had to Google it as I had not heard if it - as you say 'a forgotten war'. Nice collection of bits and pieces. Looking forward to watching it develop.
Jim

 

[BigGreg]

Hey Steve good to see you... i suppose i'll start as soon as the Vietnam Brown water Navy YRBM will be finished..(very soon i think by the end of this week june 2018...)
Hey Jim ... good to see you too....it's also for this reason that i chose to do a diorama of the Korean War...since there are not many and indeed it is a forgotten war...

 

[BigGreg]

Ok gents since the Brown water Navy is done...The Fuchilin pass BEGINS... Stay tuned for more...

 

[Guest]

Bring it on!

 

[scottie3158]

waiting in anticipation
