Isn't it great when you casually drop in on a topic you'd previously overlooked and find it fascinating and inspirational? That's how I feel about this one. Great stuff and particularly enjoyable to read the whole thing from the beginning on first visit.

Looking forward to more.

Thanks for this excellent contribution.

Doug

Thanks Doug. It's nice to know that as mostly a "lurker" that I can give back a little to a community that I take so much from.

Just fantastic work so far. Really love that Great War Memorial. Just beautiful.

Can't wait to see your U-boat.

Happy New Year everyone. I was able to work a little over the holidays to add some details to the board.

I'm sure it's somewhat hypothetical, but I wanted a cart with some torpedoes on it. I took a chance and bought a Sarissa Bomb Trailer Set in the hopes that I could modify it to fit some 1/48th scale resin torpedoes I found. Thankfully it worked out pretty well. I only had to shift the cradle pieces up a bit to accommodate the length of the torpedoes. The "fish" are probably meant to be for aircraft, but they work for me.

To add some more weapon supplies to the dock I ginned up these mines. Again not very historically accurate, but that's okay by me. I took some bits and whatnot from around the house and painted them up. I have an Opel Blitz that I'm going to put these in, but it has been so cold here that I am unable to airbrush in the garage.

Up next I'll start working on the sea wall and some electrical poles.

Please tell me you'll include rules for shooting the mines to make them go off!

Probably not realistic for mines stored on a dock waiting to be deployed, although this is sometimes how this sort of mine would be destroyed from a distance if they were found floating at sea.

This is looking great, can't wait to see it all finished.

Lovely details you're creating - that last mine photo is a safety officer's nightmare!

Lovely details

I do like the mines - when I saw the unpainted photo, I couldn't work out what they were, they looked like some kind of robot, I think due to the pink bead throwing the visual look completely. Then when I saw them painted - the penny dropped.
