Hemmbalken - obstruction beams with Tellermines

Dave's been busy, excellent scenic additions to any beach front...

Pictured with one of his Ranger platoons for scale comparison 

More to follow soon

Well, slightly over. Would never have known otherwise except for a chance click. Thanks to all those who have viewed and commented.

Above is a picture of some of my work in progress, a 1941-42 German infantry regiment. The figures are mostly a mixture of Revell and Airfix.

Here's to another 100,000 

Cheers

The Hanger

Mike over at http://mikeswargameblog.blogspot.co.nz/ posed the question of where the Hudson will live once completed, in my last post. So I thought I'd show you all a picture of my model storage cupboard with attached aircraft hanger...

Big enough for models :)

First couple of shelves, boxed armoured units in various sizes

The hanger, still enough room for the Hudson, plus one or two smaller model yet to assemble :)

Something different

I've been threatening myself to do this for ages, and so as a break from other current projects, this is what I have done so far

All sanded and base painted before anything was stuck together

Quite a detailed kit considering most of this is unseen upon completion

I like all of my aircraft to have crew where possible, and so converted three vehicle crew figures for the positions of pilot, bombardier and gunner

This is probably the among the largest class of bomber that can be used practically in CD3, though scenarios  can include almost anything you like. 

WW1 Italians

The latest of my Great War units out of their box for a bit of a touch up...

This is an engineer company, I used the flame thrower nozzle from the Airfix WW1 German set to give these a bit more detail

Weapons Company

Will try for some better pictures once they've all had a paint-work touch-up

Another rifle company

Several of the figures had backpacks added from Green-stuff for a bit of variety

The whole battalion is four rifle companies, a weapons company and an attached engineer company, most of the figures are by Waterloo 1815. As usual I have a few other projects on the go but this is all I have to show you for now

Another French 75mm

About all I've had time for this week...

Painted with my Vallejo French tank crew colours

This is from the HaT range of guns

CD only requires a single two-figure crew stand per gun

A very popular gun with other nations also, this was used throughout WW2 and beyond; not bad for something of an 1897 vintage.

Dave's Danert (wire that is)

Bit of a lesson from scenery maker extraordinaire David Russell...

Undercoated base stands

Some attention to the height of the fixing posts is important to keep it all in scale with 20mm

Dave has all of the right tools, I tend to improvise a bit more on most things:)

Always looks better sanded - same if you're drilling into hills

Usually Dave would have his kids at different stages of the scenery factory, as you've all seen before

Ready for the wire

Different sized dowel will produce larger or smaller coils depending on what you're after

The brown stuff on the base is really strong builders contact glue, it's called liquid nails over here

Note the spacing

Flock for basing, Dave makes his stuff from really fine saw dust which has been coloured

For WW1 games you can never have enough of this stuff

Thanks Dave
