Used this site to see details

http://www.medalsofamerica.com/medals-and-ribbons/marine-medals-and-ribbons/marine-ribbons

medal ribbons finished on both right chest and on DM baldric ...still to do sash details

Reworked the actual medals as one was a square and another 2 a octagon .........Ribbons no more than 3mm across ! ....just love it when there is Miniatures !

Used various ref pics as here on thread but on sash went for from Left -Right ( hopefully ! )

Meritorious Medal


Commendation Medal *


Achievement Medal*


Good Conduct Medal


National Defense Medal


Marine Corps Medal *



All others have "circular" medals except these marketed *

I will use painting to hopefully show this ...they are tiny on bust !




Will post pic later

Happy benchtime
