Re: Omaha beach invasion
Son of a bleep.
I had all 12 of those nice m1 helmets to order and then my mom told me to go to bed...
Next morning there are only two left....
Any other ways I can get some?

Get a residence in Germany and get some from the cheap sets from Sluban... Or get some mainland European to order them for you and then ship them to you... That's the only way I'm afraid that I can think of.
Re: Omaha beach invasion
Well, Despite the fact that I won't get the helmets in a while I have made some god progress....

Pics are worth 100 words...
German sniper:

German officer:

The americans (There should be about ten ones at the end give or take a few limbs) :

Some random pieces that will be used....

And here we have an early place setter for the beach.

And thats all for now!
Any comments?

Re: Omaha beach invasion
I think it would look better if the German officer had some sort of gun and less badges. Other than that, I like it!

Yea, better guns will come...
I was just wondering about the actual fig.
Re: Omaha beach invasion
The figs look pretty good. The Americans will have helmets though right?

Yes, and as I said now that Baronsat has run out...
I AM GOING TO NEED SOME EUROPEAN HELP TO GET M1 HELMETS.
Thank you, that is all.
Re: Omaha beach invasion
I really like the appearance of the water- that looks realistic. Obviously you've got to put rubbish all over the beach as the Germans did to block the invasion. If you can try to offset the landing craft in the water, tilting it just to give the viewer some nice angle pleasures for the eye. The cliff face and rocks with pillboxes in them is what should make the moc. Be sure to add a lot of detail there and try to make the cliff faces relatively high. Finally the beach itself should not be snot. Sand is coarse and looks more realistic with studs on top. That help?

Yes it does! I love the idea of the boat being sideways. And as I said, the beach is just a placeholder...
Oh, and Hazel now carries Dark green M1 helmets so I'm saved!

Baronsat said that he will be restocked by the 15th of this month, so you shouldn't have to wait too long...
Re: Omaha beach invasion
Mhmm.
I'm sorry, Kashyyk trooper torso doesn't work. What could work is the Luke Skywalker torso with dk. grey arms and legs, or the Harry potter statue torso with dk. bley arms and legs.
Officer looks good, as do the americans, but hopefully you'll still be changing that female face.
Random pieces look good, beach looks great, although I might add some studs to the water so that you can stick some trans clear cheeses on there to make small waves. Also, I envy your large amount of tan plates...

I mean, it is a bit girlish but there are no other faces like that (That are boys) and I think it really will portray that part of the Moc very well.
That's a good idea for the sniper though... I'll use the luck torso!

Re: Omaha beach invasion
Good job on your moc. Hope it turns out great. I like the use of star wars parts for the Germans. Where did you get the weapons? Brickarms?

Yes, brickarms is correct. And I won't be able to make much progress until trades come COUGHTACCOUGH and I make a bricklink order for another baseplate and some other slopes and things like that...
Re: Omaha beach invasion
Thats what I thought. Have you seen there new minifigs. They are pretty cool. U.S paratrooper and German guard. Backordered though
