    Incredible work - in this large scale there's no place to hide, & your rendition of the tigerstripe camo & web equipment is perfect!

    The name of the guys doing this work (Sounds like "lurp") came from Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols or LRRP. Several of the divisions in Vietnam ran their own schools for this. They were also provided with some of the first dehydrated rations, those being lighter to carry than the main Army C-Rations that relied on canned meals.

    Diorama is flash-back quality. Well done.
