not to mention the fact of you being in a foxhole with one of your own freinds whos missing his arm.

and the constant screaming shells that could fall on your position at any given minute.

@nakampf no I'm sure mot of them are just kids who think they know what war is like because they play call of duty or something. Truth be told they will never know. Then again I shouldn't be talking since I'm only 13 I'm just a bit more educated then the average American teen

@afrogeezer Yes,he did...He was in a supply unit,driving ammo to the front-line troops....That probaly saved his life.... :)

@RebelSonBand Did your great-great-great grandad survive his 3 years at the front?!

That is really excellent. Great attention to detail. There are also some brilliant displays at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Some people really do devote their time to creating accuracy and honouring the memory of those gone before us.

reading the reactions i can see you all are combat veterans.

@bugna1968 ciao!!! no guarda forse non ci siamo intesi....la mia non era una risata maliziosa (tra l'altro i soldati non pitturati non li avevo neanche notatii!!!) ho messo quel commento perchè a me le riproduzioni di questo genere fanno impazzire perchè rispecchiano perfettamente gli scenari della guerra come se fossero delle foto...ora è più chiaro???:)

[bugna1968]

@ajmailk93 perchè ridi ajmailk, per i soldatini non pitturati?..seguo i tuoi video, ci metti passione nelle tue ricerche e la granata che hai trovato è molto bella ma...nessuno è perfetto, le trincee di questo plastico sono ben fatte comunque

I went to the Ypres Cotton Mill with college and the dioramas there really hit home. You can read into as much as you like about the mud and shit, but all I got from that was a sea of brown. When I saw pictures, and the diorama, I saw a sea of black..

@Loukos9FIFA10 I see your point fella, but you really can't go waving your ancestor's war records around because, sadly, 90% of that generation ALSO served..
