Looking good!
Can't wait for the big finish, but I'll be sad when you're done.

Mr T's pic will be very helpful, so I saved a copy for my own use.
Figs are my weakest area, I tend to stall at that point often, though they do add a lot to a scene.

Comming along very nicely John :-) great work so far sadly I missed this one completely on "the other forum" and therefore also the "buildings - phase" could I (ever so gently :smiling press you for a reposting of the process of working with foam - maybe a small SBS on those fab buildings? *please*

Evening all, another fine day here in Lincs.
Peter....... Thank you my friend:thumb2:
Paul......... Thanks as well .:thumb2:
Bobby....... Paul has called me Dzhon for some time, while Steve calls me JR, you can carry on with John if you like:hugging-face:. Yes once the figures are on that's it. Have an idea there will be a leap into the unknown next with some resin:flushed: .
Steve......... Well there's 3 Kurts, Heinz , Hans , Otto , he's got the flame thrower , Werner, Horst, Klaus and Gerhard they man the heavy machine guns, Michael, Frank, Gunter and Dieter the troop leader.
Kevin......... Think your right, I shall miss the building work , the base with the stone sets, its been fun, esp the setting fire to that tarp !:flushed:. Simons photo was indeed helpful, like you I have saved it and printed it off.
Steven......... . Thank you for looking in. By all means, I shall enclose a few shots of the building construction when I do the final post.

Armed with Simons photo I found a Vallejo as near as I could., so with out more ado .[ATTACH]301748[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301749[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301750[/ATTACH]

Hi John,
Well Dieter and his boys will be scruffing out with the Ruskies soon. Will there be any Russian infantry on the opposing side?

Cheers,
Richard

[Guest]

Danny........Cheers mate, should be by the weekend, though Richard has got me thinking. :thinking:
Jim.............. Just thinking back I had thought about 4 0r 5 plus those from Peter, now its 14 and with Richards suggestion maybe more !:smiling3:
Richard....... A very good point, when you look at it at the moment all the action is centered around the foreground. A few Russian forces to the back may balance it up, I shall measure up to see if I could include a tank and figures !:nerd:
Look out for a "News flash later ".
