Bit more work today. Finished my balustrade made from model ship deck pillars and the main steps at the front of the Chateau.

Small update and dry run of how everything all fits together. Eventually I aim to run a full wall around the grounds, a lake to the rear of the Chateau and add more trees. Internally only the ground floor is semi complete with another three floors to decorate.

 Everything can be easily removed and there is access to all four floors for playability. The chateau base just simply drops into place between the small retaining walls and because its all made from foam card it has hardly any weight.

Thanks, I aim to go for the slightly run down/moth ball looking Chateau look which makes it a prime target for German requistion and HQ building. Thus a perfect target for a quick Commando raid or partisan attack or the Chateau with the gateau when I go for a little Allo Allo.

Wow indeed!
I wish I had the storage space for a building like that.

A couple of new additions to the battlefield in a Churchill AVRE and Panther. The Churchill is Warlord/Italeri with Avre version with S&S kit conversion and the Panther is a Blitzkrieg model.

I was making some walls at the same time and could not help myself going for a quick diorama at the same time. The diorama is based on the 2nd Essex Regiments attack on Tilly-Sur-Seulles on the 18th and 19th of June 1944 which was supported by the 81st Assault Sqn RE(Churchill AVRE). A chance encounter happened as a Churchill AVRE armed with a spigot mortar came round a corner and stumbled upon a Panther tank. The Churchill took a snap shot at point blank range and missed but luckily either hit a telegraph pole or tree close by destroying the Panther.

And some more photos. The black and white photo backdrop is actually of Tilly after the battle in 1944.
