Cheers.  Thanks for stl link too but still bay be too big I fear?  Besides I don’t have printer either 🙁

Anyway, I had a thought….i know messing about with figures for what is a bit of scenery isn’t everyone’s bag….but if you were considering something similar, I remembered I had some seated crew from an opel blitz and some standing crew on a half track sprue…



Both are a bit short let’s be honest…….howver by carefully squashing one TAG camp chair and using the longest pair of seated legs, you could then add a full sized torso to create another seated chap.

The easy standing guy from the half track sprue is also short…..but not everyone is the same and I can see the less athletic specimens making their way into admin roles 😉

Use regular full sized heads and they will work fine.   Alternatively a little hacking with a pair of squatting legs from one of the six DAK bodies works just as well as per the chap on the right.

That all looks great.  But that typewriter looks suspiciously like an electric typewriter... 8)

This looks really promising.  I love terrain that tells a story.

Certainly not the one in the case….even has a return bar.  The other larger one…perhaps…but not using that just now.

Lovely bit of terrain with the figures there, really immersive in a way! I wish more ranges sold seated figures and such, it is surprisingly rare I feel like.  :'(

Yup, but easy enough to take a scalpel to plastic and re position.   I even managed to avoid having to fill gaps here with gs.

So a little WIP.

Tent poles positioned first



T Shirt tarp added and starting to attach guy ropes



A couple of trees ( I’m no expert but I can imagine them running an antennae up the tree perhaps?



Quick test to see stuff fits





So a bit to do.   Next job, finish the sand….pva dampen and shape the tarp (if it will) then I need to decide whether to add sand backs to one side / corner of it ….

Cracking stuff.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda

Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
