So this is the beginning to the end!

I was wondering what you guys are planning to build for the campaign?

I'm thinking about making a little diorama (1/72) of a British column (two vehicles) driving to a Danish town with cheering Danes all around!

I got my eyes on some civilian 1/72 preiser figures, and if I can find them, a couple of Staghounds...

I want to make a small dio showing a man returning to his wife and kid after he had been collecting food at an Allied food distribution point in Holland, 1944.

I'll also include some British/Canadian and maybe even German troops in it. But I still have to make up my mind about that.

I've got my first models today. The woman and her child (nemrod) and the man (custom diorama's) and some ration boxes (plusmodel). These will be my first resin figures! So I hope to learn something from this campaign as well :-)

Greetings,
Martin

I have the Bren Carrier, and some of the British Infantry figures from Tamiya which I hadn't used or started yet, aswel as the crew from the Churchill. And some Preiser civilians. I have some idea's , but where am I going to find the time.... :-) .
Thought about building a wind mill, but I think that's stretching it a bit.

Just when I think I've got everything under control for the other Campaigns, then here I go again. I've got the Academy M-18, and was thinking of having some "flag" waving civilians riding on tank destroyer into town. Not sure of availability of figures so some conversion work ahead and searching ahead. But what the heck, I'm working on three other projects so what's one more. I love doing this stuff and this was to great an idea to pass up. Good luck all.

I had something with a windmill in my mind as well, but that takes just too much time!

1:72 civilians

Sounds like a great idea! I have respect for you who can turn little models like 1:72 models into real art!

"with cork"

sounds like hard work.

Is it not hard to cut?
