    U.S. 101st PIR 'Screaming Eagles' A quick trip across Europe. 1944/45

    A lovely set of figures to work with. I've added the helmet netting and weapon straps. The flag is made from a bit of paper and hand painted.
    The three scene 'extras' are made up from dioramas I've presented on here a while back.

    Behind the lines and surrounded, any mode of transport will do....June 7th 1944

          Thank the Gods for those resting places so those guys could ease the pain of their 90 degree twice!

          Excellent work as always Ron.

                  That's brilliant Ron.

                  The figures sit perfectly in all 3 scenes, very clever indeed.

                              Went through the photos a couple of times and then realised - it was the figures.... Well done, and the B/W pics looked original for that time.
                              Cheers
