Welcome

Welcome to my blog about the construction of a diorama of Goose Green battle during the Falklands Conflict. I am a collector of Action Man the iconic boys toy of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
I am also a volunteer member of the Suffolk Aviation Heritage Group. We have a museum located near Kesgrave in Suffolk.
I have already built two dioramas for the museum using Action Man figures. In 2010 it was to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. This year it is on the theme of the Blitz.
Next year sees the 30th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict.
The first two Dioramas have been indoors, however the one currently under construction is a bigger task as it is outside in the grounds of the museum.
I, along with fellow members of the AMHQ forum are embarking on the construction of a diorama depicting the attack on Goose Green.
It is not meant to be an accurate depiction but is how I would see a boy recreating the battle using his Action Men.
This blog will record the construction of this diorama and follow it through to the final product on the planned Museum Open Day in May 2012.
The idea may have been mine but the design and construction is a joint effort with fellow Action Man enthusiasts. So my grateful thanks to all who contribute to this project in whatever way they can.
