I wanted to do a diorama of the capture of the abandoned city of Pyongyang in 1950 during the Korean War, but the trouble is I have been unable to find any pictures of this city. Can anyone help?

Hmmm. It is quite difficult since the UN forces occupied Pyongyang only for a very short time period. I conducted an internet search on it and was not able to come up with any. There were several photos of battles and capture of Seoul however- you may want to base your diorama on that. One thing for sure is that Pyongyang was bombed heavily before the UN forces went in. I don't even know if Kim, Il-Sung's statute was still standing there. You may want to look at Korean War photo books in your local library or Barnes and Noble.
