Forgive me if this link has been posted before - but I just saw it this morning and found it fascinating. I grew up collecting little green Army Men, and never even thought someone would go to the length this guy did in these two YouTube videos. Be sure to watch both Part 1 and 2.

YouTube is becoming something beyond simple description...

Saving Private Mini-Ryan, Part 1

Part 2

Loved the "camera shake" when the Tiger was coming down the street. I can't imagine meshing the audio to the video.

Great find, thanks for sharing.

The molokov cocktail attack on the self propelled gun in part 2 was very graphic with the soundtrack. Made me wince the way they melted so fast.

The 20mm cannon was pretty good as well.

I'd love to see a plastic Band of Brothers film.
