Yeah! Or one with an M-79 "Thumper"! They all look good manning the trenches man! I love it! This makes me wish I had a yard so I could do this too!

Closest to a bazooka or M-79 I can find is an RPG gnome. But that's just too terrorist for my liking. I do have one more small trick up my sleeve for these guys though . . . to be revealed next Monday. :giggles:

Well the Isaelis have used RPGs. And the Bundeswehr had (have?) a Panzerfaust that looks like an RPG. Or you can replace it with a tube for a recoiless rifle or bazooka...

Duke... I've got a perennial flower garden in my front yard that's just perfect for the gnome collection he has. Imagine the neighborhood walking by seeing a bunch of gnomes in my flower bed cocked and loaded staring at them. LOL!

Cool! Looking forward to seeing that. Meanwhile, you could possibly get a piece of PVC or something to make a tube over the RPG launcher so that it looks like a Bazooka. That could work.

Blacksheep, that would ROCK! What a laugh that would be!

All too expensive for me right now. But Christmas is around the corner and my wife's bought all three of them for me as presents so far...so who knows?
