Awesome!

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

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.

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

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...

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.

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...

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

Milkman don't care, he's busy checking on all the young brides whose husbands are off at the front and making sure they're ok. Service with a smile the milkman says!

Can one really ever say enough about one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, military men of all time???

Actually, I think Rupert would be an awesome model.  A model of a model.  Hmm

LOL I only started ranting about the milkman after you spent a full page talking about him... I offered my help as well (the Mustang). And I never really inisted on Stik building one...

It's not even 10am here!  Not that that's a valid reason not to be drinking.  But no, only coffee.  A LOT OF COFFEE! Super Angry

I'm only trying to help Stik decide what to build.  I have offered several serious and valid options for him while you only mock and dismiss them.  I am being constructive while you only belittle my outrageously clever and appropriate ideas.  "Blow up the Milkman!"  I bet you wouldn't say that to his face.

It seems like Bitbite needs some slight "motivation" so he knows how to behave properly...

It appears Schatten has already spoken.  Hopefully it will be for the last time.  "Blow up the Milkman."  I mean really?

*pokes Schatten in the eye*

The Milkman cannot die.  He survived the pre-invasion naval barrage when every ship in the fleet was directing their fire solely on him!  And you think Cliff's single weapon can best him?!?!  Pshaw!  PSHAW, I SAY!

Bish - I can't speak for Schatten but I haven't started drinking yet.  I guess that makes it even stranger, huh? Big Smile

And people wonder why I don't drink. I feel like I have entered an alternative universe.

But its jolly good fun.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Cliff: LOL That would be a good idea actually. Put that milkman int o a diorama where he gets blown up by that AVRE... Is that a poem or a song you posted there?

*bites Schatten on the toe*

So let's see, that's two votes for the Milkman and one against.  But I'm reasonable and will offer a couple other alternatives:  The crazy French guy on the beach with the champagne, the awesome beachmaster who hits the Bren carrier with the shillelagh:
