Looking forward to seeing this.

Also reminded me "Cockleshell Heroes" was a film that failed to get a mention in the War films thread.

Watched it the other day, while at my sons football training,managed to find a copy on line. Anyway, great film, but wished they had spent more than 15 minutes of the film on the actual raid

When finally fixed in place waves and ripples will be created with Vallejo water effects.

Build of the canoe and figures can be seen here - http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/operation-frankton.29121/
