Re: Fallschirmjäger Wayne Yes there definately was an SS. Para Btn as i have explained, but as they were of very limited effect in all their deployments i do not believe they warrant a KC series devoted to them. I personally...(my feelings) do not like soldiers hanging on bits of string...

The 500th SS. Para Btn who were for 50% SS. misfits and military criminals were sent to capture Tito at his HQ in Dvar. the raid was a complete disater. The troops were parachute and glider borne. many missed the landing zone and of the 1000 men that took part 800 were killed or wounded...and...

NO..NO..NO..!! No SS. with or without parachutes thankyou. Just plain Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager with both feet firmly planted on the ground just as they were actually employed later in WWII. Steve

Yep i saw that figure!!. I have a battlefield full of WB American civil war but for WWII i do prefer KC. I hope that maybe one day soon that KC will take the hint and produce some Fallschirmjagers for Normandy/Ardennes and fill the void..!!!!!!!!!

I droped a Wermacht figure a while back and badly bent his K98 rifle, managed to straighten it up but of course the paint flaked off. I used Revell acryl paint in the little blue cubes, i used a mixture of their brick red tones and it matched perfectly....one little tip if i may..dont mix the...

And don"t forget the blue/grey overcoats under the splinter smocks for the Ardennes campaign!!!!!!!. Classic figures man. Steve

Re: Fallschirmjäger Yes the early series of Fallschirmjagers for Kreta was first class!!. I purchased them all and would have gladly gone further with the series had KC not once again made the decision not to go further with new additions. I like many collectors have been waiting many years...

Nice man-cave..!! I also have a mix of items in my "Museum" Original WWII items. 1/6th Figures.1/30 scale figures, and just about everything in between. I love mixing stuff together and using one to spotlight the other. Unfortunately i am at this moment in time unable to post pictures as all my...

Love to see a Studebaker Weasel maybe rigged out as an ambulance.....Would also be great for Normandy. This hard working little gem is long, long, long, overdue..!!!!!!! Steve

A while back i dropped a "Chained dog" from an old BMW motor and sidecar set it was the figure standing next to the bike, hands on hips with a slung rifle. Well this guy took a tumble onto a wood floor and landed on his K98 muzzle....the air was blue and with a thumping heart i scooped him up...

Hi Wayne.....My big chance came when i was invited as a civilian onto the base where my wifes brother was stationed, he was also an M113 driver. he arranged to take the vehicle out on the training ground and when we were out of site he climbed out and he pushed me behind the sticks!!!!. WOW what...

Simply stunning!!. I just love the sepia photo"s. Steve

I don"t believe that Ken painted this at all.....IT"S REAL..!!!!!. Wonderfull work. Steve

Wow!!!... i am not a Nam collector but the APC MII3 almost makes me wish i was. i once got the chance of driving one of these baby"s at a training base and boy o boy did i have fun!!!!!!!. Steve

Absolutely agree with you Guy.....How did this bull-...t ever creep into our forum, i think i just might give it a miss all together!! And the comment from Military Workshop was sarcastic-childish and completely uncalled for, with this continual low-level type of posts then the forum will never...

Could well be Harrie.....Could well be.....!!! Steve

OK Guys.....I am fully aware that this thread is now completely off topic but i would like if i may to make one final comment. We are all entitled to our own opinions and we should all be capable of respecting each others views in an adult manner void of sarcasm or hurtfull and childish...

Try 40 years in the Medical profession friend.....service and sacrifice for our fellow man and yeah that takes guts and mental capacity....But at least nobody was shooting at me!!!!!!!!

Quality diorama once more Guy....just shows what can be done with carefull planning and placement of just a few items!!. Steve

Don"t make too many appearences on the forum of late and this thread is one of the main reasons Scott has made some darned good suggestions and i have always felt that the Rangers and 29th Inf Div could have been taken much further. What a shame that apparently some members feel the need for...
