Nice idea, but I am to slow for these kind of competitions.
Maybe I will try a competition here on Benno's someday, or a duel.
But first I have to find time to make my marder project :?

Come on Remco, i Think with a couple of your rangers figures that you've showned here in the past you would do a nice pice of "saving private Ryan" or even " the longest day". You have until the end of February. Plenty of time to do it...
The more entrys we have the more the quality and diversity.

Cheers

:( I saw a film awhile back about the battle of the bulge and it was about a group of US infantry holding out against german units which included the 11.Panzer Division and had cgi Pzkfpw.IV H/Js..can't remember the title, it was a straight to DvD job..but not horrible.

found it,

Everyman`s War (DVD)

Inspired by a true story, director Thad Smith`s snowbound World War II drama details the attack by the German 11th Panzer "ghost" division on the small town of Nenning, Germany, and one GI`s noble attempt to ensure Allied forces maintained the upper hand in the Battle of the Bulge. In order to win the war, it`s crucial that the Allies maintain control of Nenning. As Allied troops take their positions on the ridgeline surrounding the town, the snow begins to fall and the Germans launch a surprise attack. With dawn fast approaching and all communications cut off, Sgt. Don Smith (Cole Carson) realizes that Nenning is about to become the site of a bloody struggle, and that he must warn the locals to evacuate before the bullets start to fly. Cold, alone, and unarmed, Sgt. Smith summons every last ounce of courage he has to ensure victory and save lives.
