New York Army National Guard Sgt. 1st Class Nick Archibald clutches pipes representing rope as a technician prepares to apply casting material to his body at Studio EIS in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Nov. 15, 2018. Archibald is one of six New York National Guard Soldiers who served as models for life-size figures that will be part of the exhibits at the National Museum of the United States Army when it opens in 2020. Archibald’s casted figure will be posed as a young Soldier descending the net into the waiting landing craft during the D-Day landings of 1944.
