About the Project
I've always loved the movie The Eagle has Landed and it's much older and darker predecessor Went the Day Well. Who doesn't love Michael Caine's roving accents. As a kid my little plastic soldiers from Airfix etc were enough to recreate it but now I want to do it properly.It might not be the capture of Churchil but the capture of a general who has the plans for Operation Overlord.

Difficult decisions are the privilege of rank, Herr Gruppenführer
The Eagle has Landed. I slap chop everything these days but I’ve never done WW2 before. The minis are Warlord.
My usual drybrush of an off white followed by full white.
With some intrepidation I wondered if I could do a denison smock. I mixed alot of different speedpaints together to get an alright result. They look a bit rough in the picture but fine at tabletop level. I’ve not decided on how to base them yet.
Introduction
What are my plans?
I think I need four forces
- German Paratroopers posing as Polish Paratroopers
- Villagers
- Local Defence Volunteers
- Americans
Possibly a fifth being regular British infantry.
Scenery
I’ve got a lot of hedges, trees (mainly pine so will need some more) and hills and some fencing but want to create several areas of a rural English village.
- Cottages
- Pub
- Post Office
- Church
- Watermill or Windmill
- Country House
- Duck Pond
Additional Extras
- Telephone Box
- Cars
- Tractor
- Bicycles
- Animals
- Maybe an escape boat
I also need to work out how to get a spy involved
