Forgot to mention but the Garage is very nicely done, a reissue of the original Normandy Village garage (as are some of the the recent buildings).

These are much better than the first NV, which were designed by John Jenkins by the way. They were unpainted and made of some sort of styrofoam.

Well I'm certainly thinking of getting this new garage Brad, I think it will make for an excellent scene all of its own, either with army vehicles and stores etc or with troops advancing/fighting through it.

Rob, found a pic of 'Blood and Guts' doing his thing in the Rhine and one of Winston after the fact of him doing his thing in the Rhine as well.

The pharmacy, which is also quite nice, is (as may already have been noted) from the second NV. According to John, the first NV was designed to be more interactive whereas the second more static (if that's the right word) and used in shelf dios. Nice to see both kinds coming out again.

Thanks for posting pic Wayne, seemed it was a popular pastime at the time, either that or toilet facilities were not too good!

Yes it is good to see this, I like them all myself and they do seem to be popular with collectors. I'm thinking of moving to more shelf dio's than having my armour all lined up on bookcases.

Any of you guys getting those retiring US Rangers before they go? I've wanted these for ages but have had just too much other stuff to get first.
