Luke warm in Libya! - fuel dump

.but this will be my core taken care of.

I will only say nice things about them...
I don't want to be rotten to the core.

Nice work on those tents, and the scenic pieces.

[Digits]

Many thanks!

Ok, it was an effort to get them over the line, but I’ve painted the AK platoon and supports.  Still have another support section, and a few guns to do yet mind, but I could play with these.

Pictures are dark and a bit crap…but then so is the weather outside!

well done

[Digits]

Thank you.

So…as I’m on a roll, I finished the other pieces of scenery and a few trees.    This looks congested as it’s just by kitchen island, but on a 6 x 4 table, it should look pretty good me thinks.



I’m particularly fond of the corner piece…..nice atmospheric shots of a German patrol….

Looks fine, even if you think it's cramped.

Very good looking set up - well done - now to see all in a bat rep !!

[MaleGriffin]

Your terrain looks FANTASTIC! Battles don't always take place on flat terrain, they take place in all kinds of terrain! You've inspired me to build some mountainous terrain! 

[Digits]

Go to it mate, I look forward to seeing it!

You are right….not all terrain is flat.  I am in slight danger of over doing this though……so I may have to do a few small rock piles to hide behind.  The butte is not really a feature of North Afrika that I’m aware of, so it may just find its way onto other games tables, Wild West, sci fi etc….but the rest is fine.

Zing - Bat rep once I have an op force to play against!

Still need an oasis…….and a simple rock well ( like the simple one in Ice Cold in Alex ), some dug outs ( both for infantry and AFV’s), barbed wire pieces, and a couple of old wrecked Arab dwellings me thinks.

I’d like some quick sand…but almost none existent in the desert in reality.  Apart from in the Qattara Depression which is pretty much impossible to traverse I think…..not sure if any @ction took place there or not, I will have to check.

Still a bit go do yet.

Edit:

I have the Artizan “ Indy “ .  Quick conversion to give him a whip.



And a few pics in slightly different light.

Digging in my garden alpine garden area, I have lots of little stones…….so a drop of superglue, a few twigs and a bit of string to make this simple yet potentially strategically important terrain piece / central objective.   The shaduf is a typical tried and tested way of drawing water up the well.  Typically it could have tin bucket or animal skin  instead of the wooden bucket…but this is what I have.  I will also make an oasis at some point, but this serves a similar purpose.



Need to wait for some more palm trees to land before I can finish it but will be a good focal point on the table…..and I can picture a few tents pitched up about it.

And now you have given me the name of the Arab style well that I could not recall, thank you. Found one on Thingiverse, will print next week.

Print it?    This only takes half an hour to build it yourself.   Yours may look prettier though I suppose…. 😉

Edit:  to be fair…nice looking piece on Thingyverse…..and it reminded me I need a counterweight.



Edit 2: RESULT!!!    Had to go in the garage for something else….but found two bags of palm trees I didn’t realise I had!   So, will finish this piece off, but I’m thinking I might also build a palm tree plantation to go with the oasis.  I really must go in there more often……🤔

The rocky ground, well, and DAK boys all look great!  WELL done! 

[tomrommel1]

nice well

Well nice
