Hi guys

I'm back, I don't know what caused it, but after dealing with this lack of desire to put glue to plastic for a couple of weeks the bug bit again and I'm back to it.
I'm in the process of completing my DUKW dio, and thinkling about my next project. I'm looking into doing a piece on the battle of Monte Cassino. I just picked up a book by Mathew Parker on the battle and so far it looks very interesting. My question is does anyone know of any sites on the web dealing with the fighting in Italy in general, or even better the battle of Monte Cassino itself.
Thanks in advance
Harry

Hi guys


Wow, thanks for the quick replys. Gray wolf, Those are some great sites. They have been added to my favorites list and will be explored in greater depth as I get closer to starting this project. I think the Italian campaign and for that matter the whole Mediterranean theater is mostly overlooked. I've met some younger modelers who believed that the battle for Europe began with the invasion of France. Thanks again guys
I know I promised pics of the DUKW dio. I've not forgotten, I will be getting the digital cam, as soon as I can and the pics will be up soon after.
Thanks again guys as always you've been a big help.
