Hi harrie,

i think the jumpers used in that battle was the camo version.

Great diorama idea!

I also have some Greek/Roman columns (aquarium decoration) that cost around 5 dollars each!

I love finding cheap and pretty alternatives for K&C i.e. 21st century warbirds

Here is a good description of the various battles with some pictures of the destroyed abbey.

..and a couple pics of Andrea's 90mm FJ from the battle.

As strange as it may sound, I found at the local Petsmart large Roman stone pillars in different size assortments for my Italian Dios.The size is fantastic and they are usually on sale for at least 30% off, if not more.For Example

That is a cool picture which reminds me of a 1/35 diorama I did many years ago.

Seems to me Monte Cassino would be a great new range for K&C to do. A lot of different nationalities involved that they could do.

Wow, Petsmart. Goes to show you can find things anywhere if you keep your eyes open. Great idea!!

Harrie,
Superb start to say the least. Is that a couple of kits you worked together, or did you scratch build it?

Either way, very, very nice job......

Regards,
George
