Another amphibious diorama....

Posted by peachpiz on 03 Feb 2017, 03:39

This tries to depict one of the early amphibious landings of the then Philippine Marine Company in the 1950s; you can see a retrieved news article of Operation Columbus as reference for the diorama; i also made it for the Philippine Marine Corps Museum...

of interest is the figure in red, as this is meant to portray the then Secretary of National Defense Ramon Magsaysay who was an ardent supporter of the Marines, and eventually became the President of the Philippines; you can see him in the news article facing directly the camera..
