As we know it is 70 years since the D-Day landings in Normandy, but also this year it is the 70th anniversary of the the famous but failed attempt to finish the war by christmas 1944 with Operation Market Garden.
I would therefore like to propose a campaign to commemorate the Operation.
If approved I would look at starting September 17th 2014 as this was when the operation started in 1944. But as it only lasted until 25th September I would be looking at a little longer for the campaign lol. I would think March 2015 thats 6 months, but open to ideas.

Any scale either allies or Axis, troops or vehicles or even better both incl. dioramas. There would a huge scope for what you could build and a great way to commemorate one of the famous operations of the tail end of the war.

I just watched A Bridge Too Far, last night. I have been wanting to build a Humber or Sherman that was deployed to OP Market Garden, since the first time I watched it. I will have to check my schedule, but think I can fit this in.
