Hi,

Here's the beginning of my new project : A british patrol has got a Hitlerjugend prisoner nearby Caen in 1944.

Most of the models are old version that I have recycle from old projects except for the bristish soldiers that you've probably recognized as Tamiya's one.

This is where i'ts starts :





Cheers

The field looks great, but it almost a pity to hide the Bren carrier that much. Otherwise good layout.

Looking forward to see more

Claude, I think it's what the Anglo-saxons call a "carpet monster"
Eric it's looking good already, your ground cover doesn't remind me much of the one you can find in Normandie but the layout promises something good in the end !
Good luck for the following steps!

Eric nice start. The straw on the carrier looks like wet spagetti though, as opposed to the straight "stalk " look of the straw in the field. It's a good idea though and the build looks promising.

Good start with the field, wow, that's a lot of work to get all that hay/straw put down. Nice idea with the vehicle, but would have to agree it may need a different technique with the camo hay...Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your progress!

Cheers -

Tim
