YES, and on ANZAC Day (April 25th 1918) the AIF pushed them back and liberated Villers Bretonneux

and then ALL the way back on 8th AUgust 1918 in the Battle of Amiens....

Fantastic set up their, I always wanted to buy a flamer, you must've got the last one! Just a suggestion, perhaps you could buy some cotton wool and paint it various shades of orange and grey. That way you could have your Kraut spraying fire left, right and centre!

I'd really recommend it. Its a key war in history and their uniforms and nationalities make it a great little series! Its growing to, its not stagnant or dying. I'd say buy a few early war Germans, then get some of the new fighting French figures.

 

[rossim1]

Got to agree the WW1 line is one of my favs, great figures wayne. I'm looking for fw033 if anyone has it ^&grin

What the Kaiser lacht you made up for with that editing suite - those are beaut Wayne; didn't it make the blue look grouse?

Brad, does that really matter, I don't care if it did exist or not I like it , it's a dio not a history lesson.{sm4}

So am I, very hard to find that set.

Thanks much Fellas.

With you there mate - dio is the thing. In the 21st Century, reality is just a distant memory; and to my knowledge no-one ever found it though many tried. Some of my best dios are from Lord of the Rings - I know it's real 'cos it's in New Zealand, and the brothers just wouldn't pull the wool over our eyes...

So you're saying you have no problem with purchasing a vehicle that never existed, in other words a fantasy vehicle. That's not the kind of thing I want in my collection. Now, I accept that manufacturers may make little mistakes here and there but to invent it out of whole cloth is another story.

Of course, if you don't mind have something like that in a hobby based on history, then by all means do so.

Yes I will do just that, it's about what I like, you have a nice day now.:wink2:

There is nothing wrong with making fantasy AFVs, or models of prototypes - but I think they should be indicated as such. Of course I also complain about improper insignia on AFVs, some done that way for the sake of appearance. But it seems that most collectors don't care and buy the model anyway as I sometimes do - especially if it is an AFV I really want as is unlikely to be done again.

Brad,
Whilst I did not sell this particular vehicle to Wayne I do know he was well aware of the background to this vehicle before he bought it. Villagehorse bought my last one and he was also well aware the situation when he bought his (I told him).
I guess that just means they liked it.
I don't recall you jumping in when others have posted images of this before so I guess we can expect more examples of your concern.
I think some of us can understand why you are suddenly raising your concern now.
Regards
Brett

Terry mate,
I am one of the 'don't care' mob. Not interested in the negative, it's all about what I like.. anyway I was made aware by Brett.
Cheers,
Wayne.

How is it negative to point out the truth, that Andy made this out of whole cloth. Now, if you want to include a fantasy vehicle in your dios (which are very well done, by the way) that is, of course, your option.

Shall we look forward to seeing some LOTR figures in some of your dios:wink2:
