A Mattis Marine in a picture

What is a Mattis Marine? I'll take a swipe at it: intellectual, unadorned, resourceful, efficient, battleminded.

This will do.

Hat tip Theo.

    That idea is so full of win it's hard to describe.  Some enterprising soul with access to cheap brass could make a mint selling those, I think.

    When all is said and done, that should be in the Smithsonian.

    And bottlecaps, lots of bottlecaps by the looks of it.

    That guy could make a fortune selling those as novelty items.

    Nice!  Just don't get pissed off and slam down one of the live ones too hard!

    It took me a second to realize what I was looking at, and then I laughed out loud.  Priceless.

    A GREAT shot, but the Mattis I know would also be sure to put the King and the Queen on the proper squares facing each other across the board.   SF

    Used expended brass, so it HAD to be created by a Jarhead.  Squids aren't allowed to handle guns.

    Squids and SEALS: way different parts of the Navy.

    Love the creative energy....

    In a weird way, it reminded me of the mid's Lego chess set....

    SEALs are grown-ups. 

    Squids need round-tipped scissors.
