Hello, This is my first posting. My interest in military matters is closely related to my interest in historical modelling. This is probably a little off topic, but I hope you will allow me showing this figure vignete, where the Iron Cross 2nd class features prominently. This is the kind of modelling I do. It is a vignette protraying a couple of paratroopers celebrating their new EKII awards in an Italian Trattoria. It is not intended to represent actual personalities, it was deliberately designed as a generic scene. Figures are major conversions of Elisena's 54 mm German paratrooper and Afrika Korps infantryman, which I did myself; and my friend Jaume Ortiz instilled them life with his brushes. Hope you like it. The original figures, for you to have an idea of the work involved: Any comments welcome. Daniel
