The Trench Base will make a nice backdrop for a figure.

The para loads look quite good but the container on the front of the jeep seems a bit out of place to me.

Yes, that struck me too! But knowing the guys I wonder if they've dug up a picture somewhere..??

But then on the other hand I know a huge lot of Market Garden photos (if not most or all)... oh well, we can always leave the container off, can't we!

I'll ask them if I happen to meet them!

Cheers

Hi Romain,

I can't see anyone wasting time strapping the container onto the from of the jeep, that's normally where the tools and spare wheel or an ammo box was mounted, but the item in question is still useable elsewhere.

I'll now await the picture lol.

That container, etc. looks wider than the jeep and would probably not have clearance to exit a glider (or to enter either!). I like the WWl trench. If BD were to make a few more indie bases as a modular system, several could be linked together to make a longer trench dio.
