“The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber

Lovely atmospheric photos David.
I guess the Tiger could have driven out the back of the farmyard, off table ?

Thanks guys.


So, a few shots of the airborne before I find a box for them.   We will be playing the Von Luck campaign soon so hopefully a few pics in a battle report soon enough.

Also the TAG weopons turned up….so a quick panzerschreck team….”Hans and Willi”, wishing each other luck as they are about to expose their position and bring untold retaliation down upon them….





So Warlord  prone Lehr mini and WA plastic with the launcher.

I will tidy up the gs when it has cured a bit.

Talking of green stuff, here’s a tip.   I’m forever rolling little bits out to do minor infills  etc…and the left overs often get thrown out.   Instead, I keep adding the left overs in the form of sandbags to a little section such as this.    Stops waste and you can always find a home for sandbags!

A.  The "Paras in Terrain" shots look fantastic!

B.  Nice 'Schreck team.  Hans needs to get a bit lower.... :D

Whilst I’ve been painting walls, I also got to thinking of finishing off the two gardens I started when I began making the church yard.

I wasn’t overly enamoured with the brick walls, I’d picked up cheaply somewhere, but they were a little bland looking.

The solution was to plaster the walls first….



Then today, paint and plant up!

Lovely work, my own terrain making is feeling very poor quality.

More nice-looking walls.  You've dolled them up nicely with that plaster...

Cheers….yup, the original ones were a little ugly and didn’t sit squarely enough, so plastering made sense.   I’m not normally so confident with plaster but this seemed to work well enough……so much so, I’m now tempted to try my hand at converting a few mdf buildings.   In particular, I want some industrial scenery at some point…..

Anyway, back to the Lehr…..

Cheers!

So grabbed 30 minutes or so to do a rush job on doubling the cow herd…..



Poor buggers 😢



Also, I made headway on the Lehr last night…..uniforms done, boots and gaiters done, will do the helmet coverings later then break them down into smaller groups for the detailing.
