At a wonderfull sunny sunday I shot some pictures in my garden.
And here the result of this other "Garden Wargaming" ...




Reconnaissance troops, France 1940: Motorcycles and halftracks - the spearhead of the German army






Combined arms: "damn" - where ist the right way to Sedan?


Only the cavalry came through ...


... but hold! Enemy contact! Take cover!


"House cleaning" ...

What a great set of kit.  Thanks for sharing.  The real background makes them stand out.

Hi Fugazi,

verry well done, both the painting and the photography. I like it a lot.

This are the best painted BTD Germans I've seen for years. You remind me that about 80 of this beauties are waiting for a paintjob in my basement.

Thank you for sharing and thank you for the inspiration and motivation you gave to me with this post

Greetings from Germany

A very cool idea.
Love the photography.
BTD when they first came out were top of the line figures.
They paint up very well, your's are top notch.
