shock and awe (2 Viewers)

[joesgis]

As I did last year I will have my Blackberry with me and will post as things happen. I will try to take photos with the BB and send them to Rob for posting.

Thanks for doing this again, Brad

I want to, I really do, but can't because if I show some of the items, it will give away the surprise!

I'll make sure we try to post photos right after the launch (Lunch).

You mean individual armoured train cars???
Oh that's right... you said no armoured train.............at least this time.
I'm sure whatever it is it will be awesome.
Best wishes

Along the lines of possible modular diorama scenes as this year's shock and awe surprise......

How about a sectional D-day German bunker complex, including barracks, pill boxes, machine gunner positions, supply points, gun emplacements, loads of troops, and various other components associated with bunkers?

Or how about a similar presentation of the Atlantic Wall?

Have DD Shermans and Calliopees been batted around lately?? A DD Sherman in full dress would be a shock and awe

DOH! Indeed the Atlantic Wall is directly associated w/ the first guess, but how about the Maginot line w/ all its complex inter-workings shown in a cutaway presentation.

Conning tower of a U-Boat?

Somebody mentioned this earlier, but a horsa glider would be cool.......
