That is a thing of beauty Dougie. It's been great following the WIP, too.

This will look stunning on your Falklands boards!  :-* :-* :-*

(...)pleased with the result.(...)

And damn well you should. Quite an excellent piece - very nice stains on the walls, and the base looks rather Falklandish, in a wind-swept, only-the-sheep-to-keep-you-company-way. ;)

Brilliant. My Dad was posted to the Falklands and was continually complaining about the freezing cold wind blowing in under the walls of the corrugated iron shack that was his home for 6 months. That really does look the part!

Finally you´ve finished it Dougie! Great work as always. There are very few who manage to built terrain of the same quality they paint miniatures or vice versa - you are one of those of course!

Indeed. What you really need are before and after versions.

I was there in 1984 and all that was left was the chimney and bullet riddled wriggly tin, I could knock one up I suppose, noext up are some peat diggings and a storage shed  ;) Dougie
