Excellent work, Maarten! Having seen quite a few of these while in Iraq, yours definitely looks like the real thing! Congratulations on the fine work!

Those were pretty common over there, I reember they pretty much all were shot up and many had Saddam's face burned off. I've got a pic of one in Salman Pak shot up and tagged by some grunt with the words Hi Mom.

I love it. I've wanted to do one for ages. There was one on the side of a building on our COP (we lived next an Iraqi Recce Platoon , 3/3/3) but it was so badly burned it was hard to discern any detail on it. That golden dome looks like the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Is that the one where he supposedly liberates that city?

That's a great-looking Iraqi mural. "Al-Quds, here we come!" What an ego.
