World War II Mini-Movie

This is a short movie/slideshow I made depicting some famous battles the US was involved in during World War II set to music by Hans Zimmer.  I made it as my final honors project for my US History class. 

Fort Brave

This is the western fort playset by Playmobil.  Though it was originally meant for Playmobil figures, I found that it worked perfectly with more traditional plastic figures as well.  Figures by Classic Toy Soldiers (CTS), Armies in Plastic (AIP), BMC, Toy Soldiers of San Diego (TSSD), Marx, and SCS Direct.  Play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JerNIZu5W0 while viewing these pictures for full effect.
