WWII US Marine Grunt Pack

Searching through images of Marines in WWII, you'll quickly find that a huge percentage of men on the frontlines are seen wearing far less than their standard combat load. Fighting in the hot jungles and coral ranges of the pacific, uniforms were quickly modified, or tossed aside entirely when getting some brief rest. 

This 3 pack is my first attempt at capturing this rag tag look of some Marine 'grunts' in the Pacific. Each figure has an entirely different design, starting with a fully dressed Marine, but rocking only a bandolier for field equipment. This loadout can often be seen both behind or on the frontlines, as only a supply of ammunition was needed to function in a fighting position, with the rest of the bulky field gear cast side until needed. Next up is an even more relaxed Marine, still wearing his full dungarees, but with his coat unbuttoned, showcasing his dog tags. Finally, I wanted to capture of an older, salty Marine, probably one of the 'Old Breed' enlisted prior to the war. This figure has ditched his jacket entirely, giving me a chance to showcase a period Marine bulldog tattoo on his arm, and some unique art for his dog tags with a footlocker key attached. I've also given him a mustache, and an older helmet without frogskin cover, replaced by a field added EGA insignia, to really complete the salty look. 

Ultimately, this pack would be a perfect fit for a tank or gun crew in the pacific, or even just some Marines manning the line like I've sourced the reference images from.
