@Connor, was that pic from the Collings Foundation event this past weekend?

Jerry there are a lot more gun and jeep kits from Bronco with British Airborne troops. I gave Kevin the British Airborne 75mm Pack Howitzer and ¼ ton Truck with Trailer from Bronco for review this week.

and the following model should be out in the next few months along with the Horsa around Christmas I expect.

One scene that always grabbed my when watching A Bridge Too Far was when General Urquhart is stepping through the hall filled with the British wounded. Not really a scene for a diorama, but it just came to mind. That's also one movie I think could be great if it were remade today.

I like your idea of the PIAT team though. Then again, there really are tons of options out there...

A re-make would be cool I agree.
I know how you like delving into the History aspect. I would highly recommend getting the book
kampfraum Arnheim. Large format,outstanding pics and it is fairly cheap.
It gives a terrific insight into late war WSS uniforms. The reality,not the legends.

"Men at Arnhem" is being turned into a film -not much info yet. There's also a small indie british film being developed.Some info over on kickstarter website.

I can never focus on a single dio so these are the Arnhem dios I've got started. Who knows, one day I might even finish one.

1) Border Reg in the woods.3 figure vignette in the woods. 99% completed.
2) 2 Para being overwhelmed in Arnhem. A GNR house with paras being lead outside by Germans.75% completed
3) Oosterbeek. Airborne troops leading German POW's into Oosterbeek. Miniart Village house is being commandeered by field ambulance. A jeep is heading back from Arnhem with the first causalities. 50% completed.
4) 75mm howitzer manned by wounded crew. 75% completed
5) The landing. Bronco jeep and crew. Finding the jeep a bit fiddly so it's back in the box for now.
6) Abandoned universal carrier in the woods. A tamiya carrier converted to the airborne version (an easy modification).The carrier is complete apart from needing some new tracks.
7) Hackett's hollow. MB desert rats and others converted to paras for the bayonet charge out of the woods. Just started.
Others that I've planned out but have yet to start.
Airborne following white tape and holding onto each others coat tails with bound feet heading to the river.
Airborne cutting down canisters caught up in trees and loading into waiting jeeps.
Pathfinders with Eureka beacon.
Ultimately my goal is to have a whole series of dios with each one focusing on each of the british units that fought there. Hope this gives some food for thought. The MB desert rats is down to Jerry really. Having seen his conversions I decided to give it another go.

Oh, and a boxed dio of wounded paras in a cellar with the silhouette of a German opening the door at the top of the stairs. This is one I attempted but couldn't get to work (the scene looked okay but the lighting/silhouette failed to give desired results.) The figures have been used elsewhere. I will be coming back to this one at some point.
