from the standpoint of a ww 2 silhouette i.d. collector... that is top notch work. it looks like it was popped off the template of 1 of the many cardboard models that i have for sale.

that is pretty cool. I thought they used plywood at first. Glad to see it was made of something that will last longer. I want to see it at sunrise or sunset (which ever direction works the best for pictures)

It's certainly a lot less 'in your face' and 'up yours' very large (like about 10 feet tall) profiles of an AK-47 and M-16 that some clown with a room temprature IQ has erected on the highway in his driveway near Sun Valley ID.

After 3 months.....10 bullet holes

After 6 months...40 bullet holes

After 1 year...100 bullet holes

After 3 years, the creator will give up and stop welding up the holes.



Just my best guess, having been to that location
