Display ideas and companion pieces
Keep his view open toward the subject of the scene. A low wall or a vehicle edge can provide context, but should not conceal the binoculars or supporting hand. A kneeling observer can also bridge a group of prone figures and taller standing Marines without becoming lost behind them.
What to check before buying
Inspect the binoculars, rifle and hands using both frontal and side views. Match the kneeling posture to VN130 rather than assigning the code to any binocular-equipped Marine. Check the actual base and painted surfaces when assessing a used example.
