Miniature Vietnam Digger Figurine & 3D Frame Set
The uniform and equipment worn by this infantryman is representative of Australian servicemen during the conflict in Vietnam. The floppy design of his bush hat, or 'giggle hat', was intended to break up the outline of the head, helping to camouflage the wearer, as well as providing protection from the elements. He is armed with the iconic L1A1 Self Loading Rifle, which was the standard battle rifle of the Australian Army from 1960 to 1992. His equipment has been optimised for patrolling in the dense tropical forests of Vietnam. Several water canteens and ammunition pouches are attached to US M1956 Load-Carrying Equipment webbing and a cotton mesh sweat rag is worn around the neck. The Army issued combat shirt and trousers would have been a subdued shade of Jungle Green, often referred to 'jaygees'.
About The Frame
The figurine fits perfectly with our acrylic frame display stand and 3D object frames to create a unique display for your desk or shelf. The 3D Object Frame system is more than a simple picture frame, the amazing silicon membraned frame can be used to showcase photographs, souvenirs or mementos. The frame's contents are suspended between two flexible silicone membranes and appear to be 'levitating' in the frame. Hinges allow easy access to items when they need to be removed from the frame.
