    Nice.
    Honestly I would like to see a casualty laying on the sand to push home the deadliness of Omaha beach.

    Very nicely posed.

    How about some Brits (Gold and Sword) or Canadians (Juno)? Two thirds of the landing craaft used on D-Day were crewed by Royal Marines and the majority of the rest by Royal Navy crews.

    One of the reasons that Omaha was such a blood bath was that the US dismissed the use of Hobart's funnies apart from the DD Shermans which were launched too far out despite orders to the contrary. As a result most of them sank on their way to the beach.

    Nicely done. I do wonder about how erect these figures are given the hail of bullets, body parts, etc. the soldiers faced on Omaha. If you stood up, you were dead? Otherwise these figures, like all of Jeff Shiu's sculpts, are great.

    This is a great figure and maybe the beginning of a whole range of US WWII figures? Theres a lot of options available from the D-day operations at least. Im buying this one Jeff.

    Glad to see some non-German figures. The pose is great but the hands look like claws and the BAR lacks detail. Not sure about the chin strap.

    Omaha do need a doctor along with a solider who lost his leg!
