Many thanks chaps.

I’m thinking a crew of 10. A LMG crew of 3 in the Tobruk and two tripod-mounted LMG crews of 3 with a commander in the Pillbox.
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2025 = 74
(2024 = 38; 2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)

Lovely! Puts me in mind a little of those old Airfix sets my little plastic men fought so hard over in the 1970s.  :)

I’ve still got the remnants of 8th Army and Afrika Korps that were my first ever sets and who saw much similar action.

Happy days.
Incredibly, they still make it! Good old Airfix... ;)

It's coming together nicely Steve.

Thanks Jeff.  :)

It took me a lot longer than I expected but it’s now coloured in.

I haven’t finished any of the German HG PzG yet, so for size comparison it’s some of the British Airborne.

I contemplated a battle-worn look but this is for a coup-de-main type game, so everything is peaceful until ....



















The necessary barbed wire ....





Some caches of supplies





Area terrain - scrub - Also to be used Old West, Peninsular War, etc





Area terrain - copse - Also to be used Old West, Peninsular War, etc





Next up will likely be some of the HG PzG.  :)

Wow, great to see the bunker finished.
Love it.
Also all the other terrain is very well done.
Perfect for your guys to fight over.

Thanks folks 😁

I’ve since added a bit more vegetation to the scrub and copse as when I looked at the photos I realised they didn’t quite match the similar pieces already made.  ::)

That's really rather good Steve, excellent in fact. The colours work well and, as you say, the scrub would easily transfer to a Peninsula settling.
