They're 1/35 scale, stand about 5cm tall.

I have 3 M151 MUTT fast attack vehicles I did 2 summers back, I'm hanging out for someone to release a 1/35 MH53 or CH46 helicopter so my guys can ride. After all they are a heliborne air assault company. Now the Cubans, they're due for some armor..maybe next summer..

It's becoming a real tradition. Every festive season after I fail to get laid again I pull it all out and revert to a world where girls don't exist..

In every war there are heroes, these men close with and destroy the enemy in the name of Freedom. America's dogs of war, the US Marine Corps.

Golf Company (Heliborne) of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit is charged with seizing high ground and road junctions inland from the main landing force. While 1st platoon secures the landing zone and 2nd Platoon fans out to look for enemy movement,3rd Platoon's mission is to carry out the direct assault on enemy defences. Reinforced with LMG and SMAW teams from Weapons platoon, 1st Squad leads the way:


Anyone else got a massive hard-on right now? Mine is partially in-shot.
