How about these:
You can buy these at http://www.militaryhobbies.com
First one is $125 and the second one is $45......both new arrivals
Dont know how much you want to spend, but at least you have an idea.

If cheap is your concern.....I would suggest doing the diorama in 1/72nd scale and getting the old Airfix landing craft.....$10 and it comes with a Sherman....and that's $10 Cdn.......for $45 US you could probably buy a few of these and do a great diorama!!!

ROFLMAO at Desert Fox. I am sure I would have to get a second job, if not a second mortage to afford that bad boy. Who buys that stuff?
