During a search on the web I found these pictures. thought I would share them.
Pics are all High-res So I will only add the links:
M8 in front of the Ark de Triomph
Just a couple of soldiers on the Champs Elysee Very nice pic
Just a Couple of german Soldiers marching through Aachen.

A ship with just a couple marines for the Swabbies among us

All pics I found on this page . I haven`t done exact research to what organisation it is but it looks like some sort of university, Lots of pics from Leaders, to Maps, to Propaganda to drawings name it.

DOH - that's a lot of figures, make it 1/72 scale and you could do it AND get some sleep

I like the M8 photo, very cool, makes me want to pull mine off the shelf.

I have been looking at that pic and I have counted the vehicles and other stuff, as far as I could see them, to give an idea of the size of the project.. (in case you are suicidal enough to start it)

Ok here goes:

-Jeeps: 9 pieces in view several types
-GMC 2,5 ton: 17 in view of wich three softcaps
-Fuel-trailers: 9 in view
-Jeeptrailer: 1
-modified Jeeptrailer 1
-Several truckloads of fueldrums
-several truckloads with other items such as Ammo, rations and other needs in battle
-At least 1 truckload of jerrycans can`t see what`s under the canvas
-2 Truckloads of crates.
-1 table
-truckload with barbed wire and several meters of chains
-a Huuuuuuge load of personal gear.
-A complete army of marines
and last but not least a complete front end of a ship to scratchbuilt.

Project of a lifetime (literally)

That would be a good idea, to make this a lifelong project. Like if you are going to build a jeep you do one of these and put it on the shelf, and when you have all the jeeps and trucks its is going to be easier that to start from scratch.
