I had this in the srong forum...doh!
While going thru a stack of 3.5" floppy disks, I found a bunch of pics of some of my older pieces. This one I thought I had no pictures of. The dio was lost in a display case shelf collapse and everntually wound up in the landfill I took a second pace award with this at the 98' IPMS nationals in CA. and it really tore me up that I had to toss it. I salvaged as much of the pieces as I could, and chucked the rest. The placque reads, "America's Guard of Honor" has the 505th and 504th PIR crests, and a pair of Master Jump wings with combat stars.
Just thought I would share with the crowd here. Thanks, "Q"

Great diorama.

Well deserved that you got a prize for it, but that makes it even worse that you lost it and had to scrap it.
