Hmmm, kinda looks like I'm getting in the mood for BMC! In the past I've posted a good deal of BMC (and their successor Americana) American Civil War and Alamo playsets and figures, but until recently haven't even touched my WWII stuff. Looks like another expedition of rediscovery out to The Cave is in order!
Here's a BMC set that was released in 2010 (the same year I started the blog), then I ended up blogging it in 2013. Unfortunately, back then I didn't do near as complete photo coverage as I do now so these are the only photos I have of the set. Since then, I've sold this set as well as nearly all my other Pacific Theater of War (ETO) toys, preferring to concentrate on the European Theater (ETO) toys. Hopefully I'll be able to photograph more of my BMC WWII stuff in the weeks and months to come.

The hill looks remarkably similar to the old 1:76 Eidai/Arai/Grip German Secret Strong Point 'bunker', and I'm not suggesting it's a copy, but I suspect the earlier helped 'inform' the latter, on layout, undercuts, tunnels etc?

I'm not familiar with those 1/76 lines Hugh so I'll take your word for it but it wouldn't surprise me if a little artistic license was used by BMC
