So just a fun wish list sorta thing. What kind of a figure pack would you like to see? What pose, uniform and equipment? Setting? Who knows, maybe Dragon, Masterbox or Mini Art are reading!

I would like: "Rest At Last: German Kubelwagen crew". Of course this would be four or five figures crashed out in various positions in the vehicle, with maybe one lone figure leaning on the hood.

And: British Truck Crew, ETO, 1944. Ideal for all the softskins coming out!

Since this is all in fun II'd like to see a set of Finnish Tankhunters from the winter war, one with a log to jam in the drive wheel of a tank and the rest with molotov cocktails. I'd also a like a set of Mules and their handlers for different theatres; a Chindit, A Free French Goumier, One of Merrills Marauders and maybe some Fifth Army Mule handlers too.

Hi all
I know it's kind of sick, but I'd like to see some dead soldiers, all nationallyties, or maybe some Kriegsmarine, rushed into fieldservice in Berlin.

Hi Dave

Never driven a combo myself but I have fallen asleep on my bike, once parked on the main stand head resting on the tank bag and once going along ....scary It was on a long stretch of motorway and the lorry wheels two feet from my ears kinda woke me.

As for the scale model figures have you seen this one from Royal Model. One of my favourites and been meaning to get it for some time

Canadian WW2 infantry in summer and winter would be fantastic. Not much need for Canadian Tankers, not with Ultracast, although something a bit more affordable....

Also any Modern NATO/Canadian Infantry, male and female, would be cool.
