Yah. I think between Steve Shanks and PhilC a lot of the basic WII to Modern uniforms are filled in. But there is a lot more to do! I'd love to see stuff to the level of those full-color plates in those great reference books. Me, I left the Army in 1988 and never looked back. But I've kept an interest in history. I think a lot of vets are similar; we tend to be a little better read in history, particularly military history, and a lot of us are drawn to creative work around the Civil War, or WWII, or 18th and 19th centurys (which have the grace, at least, of a lot of wild-looking uniforms). Setting is always a wild card. At least a peacetime Army base is mostly a bunch of beige boxes. But...way back when I was still modelling in plastic, I did drawings for then abandoned the idea of a diorama around a "pibber", holed and beached on the tangled bank of one of the nasty narrow tributaries in the Rung-Sat.
