What a diplomat 92-93 Season...'93 cup finals

Looking back on these posts I think we all had much the same experience and happy memories. The only bad one was the horses on separate bases - why did they do that?

I've been looking at plasticsoldierreview website in a fit of nostalgia - but why do I keep on seeing Burt Lancaster on some of the boxes?

Good point. Lancaster or Wayne.

Perusing the box art for guest appearances by Hollywood stars, I was struck by the tableau depicted on the 8th army box.

Squaddy in the bottom right corner has clearly just Tommy-gunned a baled-out panzer crew.
Front and centre, a visibly irritated corporal interposes himself between trigger-happy Jenkins and the surrendering survivors.

It’s a bit hardcore.

Shooting huns is part of the game. They say they had their hands up, but hey you know how they lie.

Maybe the tankie said something "Tommy, Tommy your wife is in bed with a yank"

And the squaddy got upset because he knew it was true?

You’ve got me casting the roles of Airfix figures now.
I’m seeing Nigel Greene leading the Guards band - a young Roger Moore as the bobby on the civilians set - James Mason as the Afrika Korps officer - and Gregory Peck as a US marine.

Paul Hogan as the Aussie smg gunner. Mads Mikelsson as the Gerry offier (yes I know he's Danish but he'd play the part well) Larry Greyson as the German smg gunner "Shut that panzer door.."

Roger Delgado as the Sheriff of Nottingham - Kirk Douglas manning a Russian maxim - and the confederate officer looks like Bill McKinney, the villain from ‘Josey Wales’.
