I just loved this. I have my obsessions in modelling (Pearl Harbour/Harbor, 2eme DB in Paris 1944, Waterloo anything, Finnish airforce of WWII) but that includes Landing Craft also. I think I see two LCT Mk4s and an LCIs plus lots of LCAs…all in 20mm scale. Must be hand made I guess? Also enjoyed your story of "Disaster at D-Day". My only attempt at gaming was back in the late 70s. WWI trench war led to a massacre every time. But also Heroics and Ros in 1/300 scale. Combined assault. My paras were massacred, the gliders rarely even landed and the various types of LCTs, LCAs, various LCIs never quite got to the beach. The LCFs, LCGs, LCRs were great fun to model but all ended up going back home alone. |
