Dioramas At The War Memorial Of Korea

Dioramas are a great way to illustrate past battles. Graphic, immersive, and no one dies.

Korean forces on a helicopter assault in Vietnam. Not just an American folly.

Taking cover. A U.S. soldier, Mr. Casual with a gun. "I can maim one-handed!"

Bunker life. "When will lunch be finished?"

A Korean soldier, showing that casual U.S. soldier how to put some effort into shooting. Winter warfare, modeling the latest in officer overcoat.

Sometimes the best part of dioramas, the nondescript details. Someone took the time to place this tree.

Heroic Sculpture At The War Memorial of Korea

Realist sculptures are great. Bigger than life, maybe on a pedestal, gesticulating at something. At the War Memorial of Korea there are a few sculptures showing Big Men doing Heroic Things. Just look at the lunging, the flexing, the hugging. Yes, they hug.

Here's the Statue of Brothers. Love in time of battle.

Quick loading a gun while getting your lunges in. Double win! Yelling or about to catch a raisinet.

Serious footwear, boots and spats.

Keeping a brother away from the chow line that's serving bad fish. Sizing up the enemy. Or watching a boring tennis match. 

Lunging for a Mardi Gras throw.
