I'm working on a Brecourt Manor terrain.

The trench system (from Gauthey Miniatures is completed. I now have to work on the gun emplacements, then the figures.

First, I'll use the BTD Pak40 (1/48 scale so a bit oversized). But as soon as Bolt Action Miniatures will release true 105mm FH 18/40, I'll use the real guns.

BAM should release then in the first quarter of 2007.

@Dominic, I think that I saw them. Artizan Designs US Paras are really nice. I'm always amused to see that nearly everybody use the same figure from Lt Compton!

 :)


I took these pics 2 years ago with a scrachtbuilt trench system.

That fat gut eating bread (so it seems) is great! Which pack does it belong to?

You can order the TFL personalities as single models as well as in a pack. I´ve got the Officer, too.
