I have the Beachmaster figure and a Bren Carrier in my stash, along with some other assorted Brit figures that might work....

I have not built a diorama since I was in high school... I do not have high expectations if I were to do that project...

Hmm.  I hadn't built a model since I was in high school yet, with your help, I made a pretty good one.  Now, my teacher, you must confront your fears.  Your skills are at a peak which cannot be challenged by mere mortals.  It is time to get out from your comfort zone and expand your powers until none can challenge them!

Or . . . something like that.

There is a figure of this guy? That would be an awesome diorama! Can't wait untill you start that one, Stik! (if you do so)

Don't worry 'bout the Pony, I'll just try to build one myself. I have Tamiya's P-51B In the stash which I planned on doing with a fictional desert camo scheme, but I think it looks good with some invasion stripes as well...

Yeah, one of the guys in our club has the beachmaster figure. Still amazes me the cool off-the-wall subjects you can find.

I have stumbled across all kinds of great stuff out there... the trick is having the money to do anything about it when you do.

Sorry, Schatten but I can't help myself on this one so please just bear with me.  I can't help but notice that there's milk containers in the picture of the potential mayor of Coleville.  Also in your Tiger thread there's a mule-like creature.  I don't think I have to say what I'm thinking.  Whistling

Bitbite: I hate to break this to you.... but The Milkman was killed on the first day of the invasion.

Marie was a proud French cow who was captured by The Milkman and forced to provide milk, butter, cheese, and other fine dairy products for the German troops. On hearing of the invasion Marie saw her chance to do her patriotic duty and win her freedom. She kicked The Milkman in the head, snapping his neck and killing him instantly.

Upon finding his body the Germans launched a massive search to find the killer, whom they expected would be the French Resistance. Fortunately for Marie  they had assumed the killer to be human allowing her to make it to Allied lines.

Marie was amazed and humbled when she heard about being guest at a dinner served for the Allied commanding officers. Unfortunately though a mistake in translation it turned out Marie was dinner, and was eaten by Ike, Monty, and Patton...  

So ends the story of Marie, unsung heroine of the Liberation of France and the horrible cow oppressing Milkman...

Well, he said he thought it was fun once but that was quite a few posts back.  If he 's mad I'll sacrifice myself and take the blame.  Sad
