PARA's In Washington, DC ! (1 Viewer)

[Capitolron]

Here is a little collection I have started of K&C Paratroopers - after watching Band of Brothers (all episodes - AGAIN ! ) this past Christmas Holidays - I decided to start a little collection to honor the Paras !

I am working on getting other Germans who are surrendering or dead from other K&C available sets to make the story. So far I have DD 58 - Taking Prisoners & DD 74 Reach for the Sky !

On order is DD 98 - Alive & Dead and I am searching for WS 65 Last Stand and RA 12 Captured - I am only interested in the wounded Germans in these sets - so keep your eye out if you want to pick up some singles for your WWII collections.

I think it a good little diorama so far ? I will keep posting updates as figures increase

Looks great Ron! As a WWII buff I give it a A+++. With all these WWII buys right out of the gate in "09" I'm beginning to think your coming over to the dark side and putting the NAPs second on the list.

Very nice display Ron.

Diorama shelf of your Para's is looking good.Will there be a Naval shelf this year? I see some of the naval figures are going fast. I did not buy any but thinking about them. Leadmen

Nice display Ron. Do you know what the model number or name of the cabinet is? I'd like to get one of those myself.

I always believe in EXPANDING THE EMPIRE !

LOL

Nice cabinet. For the grass, is that one of those grass mats you see in Train hobby stores?

 

[Capitolron]

Actually it is a Grass Square - you can find them in the diorama sections of most Hobby Stores. They are great you can cut them to size or even buy them in a large roll. I believe a train store would have it as well.

The green grass is the K&C Diorama Battlefield Camo - great packets for diorama use. I put them on the ground and on the Tank for the good camo look

 

[Capitolron]

New Pics as promised !

Note the new dead german in front of the Stug and the boys partying in the back of the diorama
