    Pull a Call of Duty and put a discarded Arisaka rifle on it

    A great one to go next to it would be Rommel back at home for his wife’s birthday wondering why they’re losing the war.

    That’s a lovely piece of work Hank👌 Love the way that small square of beach has so much variation in both colour & textures. It’s hard to show some interesting terrain alone, without the need for a vehicle, figures or building, but just the raw groundwork, Nice video well done..👏😊

    If I recall correctly the teller mines were a waste of resources as they didn’t like being immersed in salt water twice a day, so most if not all ended up being duds. The allies knew this as they had grabbed a couple during pre d-day scouting missions, so they didn’t even have a deterrent effect. The Chechz hedgehogs did find a later use, the allies cut them up to make the hedgerow cutters, nice of the Germans to provide the raw materials.

    That Hank looks awesome, such a simple diorama base. Dragon make a set of US Army figures landing on beach, master box might as well. Either or would look great, or a german solder with a dog. Walking on the lonely beach, on patrol.
    Hey wait, i think I will do that. 😅
    Great video thank you

      the Tamiya German briefing figure set (four soldiers and a dog) would work well here-

    Truly amazing! Could you please make a full tutorial video on painting the Rado RDM35041 "Feuer Frei" figures now? I recently bought them and they will be the first figures I will ever paint, so such a tutorial would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

    Great job Hank, very realistic. Well worth doing this way, I love it. Also any update on when part 5 of H.E.A.T.S in coming out I'm hanging out there for it.

    Awesome work Hank! I just built up a couple little display bases for my tanks using a couple simple wooden plaque boards from Menards, some Modge Podge, and brown sugar! I let everything dry and hit it with a couple coats of green and brown, and sprinkled in a little cat litter for pebbles...oh what you can do with not a lot of money!
    Sometimes the base is a model in and of itself! :)

    Looks great, Hank. I've seen several D-Day dioramas that forgot the Teller mines mounted on the obstacles.
    Hmm....a certain teacher molded by Nuts Planet would look great in this diorama. 😉
