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.

I like the way you think... :D

Re: French Harbor Town - Update January 16 - Opel Blitz and a Sea Wall
« Reply #78 on: January 16, 2018, 05:30:54 PM »
We finally had a short break in the weather, so I was able to fire up the airbrush and finish the Opel Blitz and the sea wall. The truck is from Rubicon and built straight from the box.

I created the sea wall by 3D printing the stone cap pieces which I then affixed to lengths of 90 degree angled styrene. I then created the wall by cutting sections of G-scale corrugated sheet and gluing them to the angled pieces. The backside of the plastic sheeting had the shape I wanted for the wall corrugations. The dock cleats are an O-scale model railroading product. I may circle back and airbrush the stonework a bit more if I have enough time.











Up next I’ll start working on the U Boat.

A giant project and you've done already a fantastic progress, methodically covering your table from side to side with items one better than the other! Following your project with great interest! Cheers!

This thread has officially become one of my two favorite "drop in" threads.
A fellow doing an OpSealion project with airfield, gardens, phone booths, etc... being the other.
Both provide wonderful inspiration and eye candy.
Wonderful work. Plz keep it coming.
