Hi Cladue,

Ah, thanks, I'll try that.

Al

Hi Alan,

As always, excellent detailed work. Very realistic and subtle colours and shading. Its coming along well.

Look forward to seeing more!

Garth

Hi Garth,

Many thanks for looking in and the comments. Hope to get a bit more done to the interior of the ruin soon. I picked up some Royal Model items in a Sale recently that might work.

Cheers

Al

This is AWESOME Alan....You've done a wonderful job on the painting and weathering,,,I can't wait to see the end product....even with the unpainted figures you can almost feel the dispair and hopelessness of the refugees as they pass through the bombed out town. Very nice.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for looking in and the comments, appreciated

Al

This is coming on very nicely Alan- a good early composition of figures aswell, I'm looking forward to seeing them all painted up and in place.

Hi Karl,

Thanks, working on painting up the civilians at the moment.

Cheers

Al

Alan: Great work!! Look forward to seeing it finish out.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Hi Zon,

Thanks. I have these two carriers that are possibles for the scene:





Or a Carrier and a Vickers Light Tank



I did reviews of the carriers here:

Bren Carrier

Scout Carrier

The recent release of the additional Resicast BEF Soldiers and Belgium will be most useful.

Al

Hi folks,

Not a great deal of progress on this one, but I have started work ona couple of BEF troops that were recently released by Resicast.







I replaced the arms on the chap on the right but have a bit more work to do to blend them in more.

Al

Hi folks,

A little more work on the two BEF Figures.





Al

Hi folks,

I've pretty much finished the standing figure with the rifle but I have thinned down the arms of his partner.and hopefully these look a bit better.

Al

heres my french house based on an Italian building:



It uses a similar color palette

Rick

Wish I had caught this one from the beginning. I really like the Sherman and I'm not a "Sherman guy". Beautiful work all around. You have set a new learning curve, for me. This dio is a true master piece.

Hi Rick,

You have a grand building developing there.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for looking in and the comments, appreciated.

Al

Lovely dio you've built. I think it's the grass/flowers that really lift it with the extra colour & texture. I also liked the idea of the timber supports - it's not somethng I've seen in a dio before but in plenty of photos. I'll continue to be following this one.

Thanks for dropping in and the comments, long ways to go yet .

Cheers

Al

Hi folks,

No more work on the base yet, but a little progress on some figures.

I was thinking of using the sleeping carrier crew in the back of the building so I made some additional equipment for them. The packs etc were easy but I have no respirator cases so adapted some of the DML ones.





Possible placement although maybe one on the 1st floor when I get it build!





I'd need to make some adjustments to get them to fit correctly and I originally though of one in an arm chair but space is too limited.

For the other British Infantry I have the two carrier crew who will be in a Bren Carrier plus the two standing Tommies with SMLE



On the Belgium Army side the Tanker, Infantry soldier and a Cyciliste whom I'm working on plus perhaps one other adapted Infantryman



Cheers

Al

Nice work Alan, really enjoying watching this come along.
something i feel is missing would be Iron railings on the low wall. or at least remnants from ones that have been removed. ? just food for thought.

enjoy the rest of the build.

J.

Hi James,

Thanks. Still a lot of work to do on the building. I got some Royal Modals furniture cheap in a sale but insufficient romm on the buiding floor. I have some of the MiniArt stuff and might be able to get a couple of bits from that to fit in.

Thanks for the thoughts on the railings, I'll think on that. The most difficult bit for me will be the windows, what to put in there, broken frames I suppose?

Cheers

Al

Simply stunning Alan. Looking forwards to more!

Hi Darren,

Thanks for looking inn and the comments, appreciated.

Hopefully I will actually get it done for the end of the campaign.

Cheers

Al

Yo Alan,

It 's been a long time since I jumped in here and what an update i see here!

Huge project, but you managed to get the right line into it...

it comes alone well. Nice scratch work and good work on the figies.

Keep up.
