I am thinking of building a diorama for the up-coming Tamiya-Con of an USMC LVTP7 and Crew knocking down a statue of Saadam. Question is does anyone know where I can find such a figure??? I would prefer resin since I want to bust the statue up a bit.

Thanks

Hi Frank,
I guess this is what you're looking for http://www.missionmodels.com/pages/verlinden.htm. Not sure if it's still in production though.

Many Thanks Mark - I'll contact Mission to see if they have any in stock.

Wait! http://www.greatmodels.com (do a search for 'statue') has it cheaper!!!

Hey I'm Dutch

good luck with your dio!

This is what I will be trying to depict in a little vignette. This statue was torn down by my co-author/friend in Najaf. The Verlinden statue is not too far off and I hope to convert it to look similar to the statue in the photos. I already have the kit and with the base it is very heavy.

It took two Abrams tanks to pull this sucker down under intermittent small arms fire.

Now that would be a cool diorama - 2 Abrams and one Saddam statue coming down.

Look forward to seeing this one... Neill
