Hey yall!!! Thanks for all the nice comments!!! Some of yall have ask a few ?'s so hear we go!!! The higgins boat is a 1:18 custom I made out of wood about 3 years ago!!! I plan to do a large scale diorama at this spot--- soon I hope--- with alot more of my beloved Marines,LVTs,Tanks,Higgins boats,smoke,blood,and maybe some other stuff as well!!! The site is on the lake bank by my house---there is a creek that feeds the lake about 75-100 yards away and dumps alot of sand on the bank!!!I might do some B/W pics because alot of folks ask for me to!!! FRITZKRIEG---Try makeing a rectangle out of 2x4s,put plywood on the bottem,waterproof the joints with caulk,cover the inside with plastic,fill with sand---but make a ramp---1 side higher than the other,and then pour water on the side that would be the bottem of the ramp!!!This is the easiest way I can think of to make a man made beach!!!But hey---you live in FLA.dont you??? Head down the the beach and take a few pics there!!! I know I would if I lived in FLA. or near any beach!!! Thanks again!!!---RED---
