Here's a great article at MSN about Iraqi vets (as in Iraqi soldiers) building models and dioramas of scenes they remember-- some of the dioramas are really good. The article is a photo journal of the work of one former soldier. I linked in the last photo of a series of ten, so go backwards from 10 to 1 by using the arrows on the left side. If you use the right arrow it will just take you to a new unrelated article.

Well worth a look to see how modeling is used to keep veterans in touch with thier past-- and in Iraq no less-- we truly enjoy a hobby with universal international appeal!
