Thanks chaps.
Got a bit more done. Was going to have a go at adding one of those curved ammo storage things on top of the sandbag roof, as it looked a bit on the bland side.
Other than breaking up the expanse of bags, it didn't really look that great, so liking Tim's Chaffee emplacement I've started on a little bunker/observation post.
Only prob at present is I've run out of Milliput..!

I like building with sandbags, but mine look a little rough by comparison!   Getting them this neat would screw with my noddle! 🥴

Looking good fella.

Thanks guys.
This thing has been sitting on my desk for a week, taunting me, finally got some primer and base coat on it.

Absolutely, positively, amazingly, wonderfully… EPIC.

I think I used enough superlatives. Maybe not.

Love it.  :-*

That really is the dog's bollocks! Superb bit of modelling.  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

You could be easily fooled into thinking that was a 1/35 model, save for the bases on the figures. Lovely work Ash.
