My thought was perhaps they were heading somewhere and find out the bridge out, and now are trying to figure out where to go next??

Thoughts....



The width and clean edge of the projection from the pier (jetty) into the river do not suggest a bridge, intact or otherwise.

Overall, the base looks like the manufacturer took several disparate pre-existing elements and tossed them semi randomly together. The more I look at the base, the less I like it. things just look out of scale...not a reflection on you, but on the company that produced it.

Man there are just too many options!!! the more I look around the more I want to do... Now I see how you guys do many of them... Not enough room for everything in one.... LOL. Will not freeze the river as a great point was brought up, currents would prevent freezing.... I was thinking about maybe the two guys and the motorcycle and possibly use the medic markings for the motorcycle and maybe cover the dead guy with a German flag?? Good idea or piss poor?? I was also thinking about grinding the dead guy out of the rubble and adding some more rubble as suggested earlier, and also removing the light post... Trying to figure out what it serves...... another thing i dont understand is if you had a large brick building, then why would you have a foxhole right next to it? Wouldnt you just use the building? Or could the foxhole be build after the destruction of said building/wall...

BTW thanks for all the help so far!!!

That was the point of my second post...the base looks cobbled together without a lot of thought. Like someone was sitting in a product development meeting and said, "Hey, we have all these masters...let's throw a bunch of 'em together and make money off of... I mean offer them as a premade dio bases for our good customers!"

Looking good Jeremy. That is a great base. Personally, I would be inclined to leave the casualty for added interest.

I don't think this works.

One guy examing the body and 5 others don't care at all.

For the moment (it's only 8 a.m.) and I have no idea what story could told with this kit at all.

What story do you want to tell!?

Claude





the guys are discussing how to throw the body in the water. The one guy is like { with hand up} .."we can toss him over there"
