    Hello, All!

    My name is James O'Leary and I am back on this site after taking a break for several years. Being that it had been a while, I couldn't remember the user name and password I had used so I created a new account.

    I primarily make dioramas and vignettes with an occasional bust here and there. Most of my work is of Vietnam War, Native American, and more modern conflict subjects. Over the past several years I have been working on a project honoring the service of 2d Battalion, 47th Infantry (Mechanized), 9th Infantry Division so most of what I will be posting will be of that subject matter.

    I served as a Reconnaissance Marine from 1988 through 1996 and then in the Army in various Infantry and Armor units until retiring in 2016. I served several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other countries. Making dioramas is very therapeutic for me. I like trying to tell stories through my work.

    I have been modeling off and on since 1979. I look forward to learning new techniques and finding inspiration in the works I see on this site.

    Cheers,
    James
