Combined Operations: ‘Market Garden’ & ‘Overlord’ (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi Guys,

Next week in Chicago we’ll be showing all our current crop of dioramas including this particular and peculiar combination.
Due to lack of space we combined the French Commandos attack on the Casino at Ouistreham in Normandy together with our current and latest ARNHEM ’44 releases of British Airborne forces.
Of course some of you have already seen the ‘Casino’ building before but not the stone base on which it stands.
In real life after the French Commandos captured the Casino they moved forward to link up with the British 6th Airborne Division.
So maybe mixing Commandos and Airborne is not such a bad idea after all!

Best wishes and have a great weekend!
Andy

The Arnhem figures are very welcome Andy. Started collecting this series in 2009 and a decade later they are still running hot. These have come a long way since the 1990's with Arnhem 44. Really excited you are re-visiting Market Garden once again. This dio will be a stand out piece at Chicago. Robin.
