Battle of Guadacanal

The 1st Marine Division famously spearheaded the grueling Guadalcanal Campaign beginning in August 1942, enduring intense tropical heat, tropical diseases, and relentless Japanese assaults. Securing the perimeter around Henderson Field required constant vigilance, and the capture of enemy personnel provided critical battlefield intelligence during the early, uncertain months of the Pacific campaign.

The set includes 8 US Marine combat personnel figures in various realistic guard and relaxed poses, 3 seated Imperial Japanese Army prisoners of war, 1 heavy water-cooled machine gun emplacement, sandbag defensive fortifications, and a detailed jungle base featuring two integrated palm trees.

Please note: the figures in this diorama are resin 3D printed, while the structures, buildings and bases are printed in PLA filament for a sturdy, durable foundation.

About print supports: ArteJaol's sculpts are exceptionally detailed, and some of that detail needs extra care to arrive safely. On most figurines, we remove the print supports before shipping, so you can get straight to painting. Only minis with delicate parts, like a sword or bayonet, ship inside a protective resin casing with their supports attached; see the last product image for how to free them safely.
