About the Project

I've always loved the movie The Eagle has Landed and it's much older and darker predecessor Went the Day Well. Who doesn't love Michael Caine's roving accents. As a kid my little plastic soldiers from Airfix etc were enough to recreate it but now I want to do it properly.It might not be the capture of Churchil but the capture of a general who has the plans for Operation Overlord.

What are my plans?

I think I need four forces

German Paratroopers posing as Polish Paratroopers
Villagers
Local Defence Volunteers
Americans

Possibly a fifth being regular British infantry.

Scenery

I’ve got a lot of hedges, trees (mainly pine so will need some more) and hills and some fencing but want to create several areas of a rural English village.

Cottages
Pub
Post Office
Church
Watermill or Windmill
Country House
Duck Pond

Additional Extras

Telephone Box
Cars
Tractor
Bicycles
Animals
Maybe an escape boat

I also need to work out how to get a spy involved
