That flag in the lego version is a fifty star flag. But please keep in mind that at the time Hawaii and Alaska were not states, so this should be a 48 star flag. Even the 49 star flag was not introduced until 1959.

I think this is cool, and I really like it, but the problem is that the men who put up the flag were marines, so they should be in sand green, not tan. Even if this were Europe and not marines, at the time of the war this were happening, they'd be wearing OD Green. But still good job!

Love the history :)

Awesome!! I actually met a guy who's father raised the flag. He's the guy in back. I forgot his name but he's the guy who wrote Flags of Our Fathers.

i am actually moved by shanes "speach" and he makes perfect sense

its perfect but ive been looking all over mocpages for something not the best but one that gives credit to somebody, that somebody was my great grandpas friend his name was ted tuddenham he actually carried that exact flag to the top under fire and everything but nobody gives him credit so if you guys could just remember that that these were the ones that put the flag up but the ones that carried the flag up to mount sarabachi are the ones that are heros the ones that put up the flag were just as important and in danger but just remember that

Check out my new mp40 :http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/140583

Okay, time to judge! Details 8/10 (I love the different layers and the positioning of the soldiers) Creativity 8/10 (Though I have seen this done quite a lot I'm only docking you 2 points though because of how well this is done) and Overall 8/10 (I love the ground and the flag). All together that's a 24/30. Good Luck!

an excellent tribute to the brave marines who fought for iwo jima

cool it looks like the real thing.check out my mini MI abrams!!!

NICE,KOOL,COOL,AWESOME,WONDERFULL,FANTASTIC,MARVELLOUS,OUTSTANDIND CREATION.PLZ R&C [RATE AND COMMENT] MY CREATIONS TOO.

Amazing!Although maybe post a pic of the real thing so we can compare both?

wow you've depicted that iconic scene really well

This is very nice. The scene was well composed and you took great photos. But the guy below me is right, there were 4 on te occasion, 3 marines and one guy from the navy. But thatīs no big deal, you did a great recriation!

Thanks - there were 6 guys in the actual thing

brickforge might do them

Great job!

Great Im glad you made this it should be remembered.

where do you get those helmets

I like it! The black and white was a nice touch! There were only like 4 guys in the actual thing I think. Also try modeling the terrain like the photograph. Someone said this was actualy taken the second time they raised it, true but the original picture they took is no where near as inspiring! I believe they sell helmets like that (or close) at birckforge

Is thisfor our MOCcomparison? D: I forgot about that.

wow this must be the millionth iwo jima tribute on moc pages. But by far the best!

Cool! This looks just like the photo! By the way, Where did you get the helmets? I know Brickarms doesn't sell them anymore, But is there someplace else you can get them?

awsome

Awesome! One of the most accurate recreations of this scene I've seen! Keep up the amazing, fantastic, excellent, great, terrific work!

Did you know that when they filmed them putting up the flag it was actually the second time they did that? Ahhhh, propaganda, you gotta love it! Great job!

NICE! Great posing of the minifigs!

Nice work on positioning the soldiers. ~ Ghostman :)

This really like nice, like all of your stuff. Love the flag!

Brickarms.com - but they don't sell them anymore

You are quite good at this photo recreating thing..
