Here I am bringing up the rear.

As you have seen in the previous pictures, we had fun, History was shared in multiple ways.

Stories from veterans, stories from reenactors, stories from us modelers.

Mike and I took some time on Saturday morning to walk the trail, and look at all of the displays.

One of the first displays was a ETO check point, and standing guard was a very well restored GPW,



As with a lot of the displays, the kit used in theater was laid out.


Across from the GPW, was an excellent Dodge WC-52, 3/4 ton Weapons Carrier.


I am willing to post more if wanted, and if you want to take a look at some of the other pictures I took, you can head to https://picasaweb.google.com/1104278...4991/AHEC2012#

I also have some pictures of some of the cars that were parked at the motel I was staying at.

AC Cobra

Renault Dauphine 40, from 1964

A FiberFab GT-12

A Simca 1000


Just outside of the visitor center, where we were set up, various specialized displays were set up, including a trailer honoring fallen Special Operations Soldiers and Rangers, and an Operator in his in theater gear was there to talk to the visitors.
Here he is next to Colonel Kirby, and the picture next to him is the 3rd Force Recon Marine from paper-replika.com

He was tickled that the paper figure was kitted like he was

Hope you enjoy

Rick
