Working on it... lol

Might have accidentally ordered another 20 sheets of MDF

I'm up to ten sections now, 3 of which are ruins.  The factory is planned as 8 sections long, but one each side is an office block. 

Once the supplies arrive I'll do some more ruins.  I also need to sort out one end which will also be in ruins

I basically ordered one of every corrugated option I could do d.  I finally settled on this corrugated card by 4d models.  Cut into 40x20mmm sheets and stuck to a.laser cut MDF frame then with plastic angle glued to that.

I'm also now planning a water towers for one of the corners of the main hall (aka sniper tower) and a ruined tower for the other corner.

My accidental reserves have made it across the Volga. 
36 old metals, no idea the manufacturer. 
Around 15 partisans (some who have now had beret-ectomies), 2 potential NKVD officers, 6 in Adrian helmets who are going to be the dregs of the factory firefighters, 4 very obvious Frenchmen or Tommies who will be thrown back.
The rest are a bit too military for factory workers (Mostly because of their puttees) so they will become student officers thrown into the maw.

I need to rebase them and then see where that leaves me.

Started on the reserves

First the factory fire department.  No idea if there was one but they are based on what I've gleaned of Soviet firemen from the 1930s.  Plan canvas uniforms and brass helmets.
