Looks good Alan! I wouldn't fancy dealing with that with a MG42 spraying

bullets at me

[Alan 45]

Thinking of having a trooper lying on the barbed wire with one standing on his back as they go through

Hi Alan this is taking shape very nicely, I like the pak 40 and the Sherman is exquisite, lovely work can't wait to see it completed.

This looking good Alan the barbed wire looks good either as singular pieces or as the combo.

[Alan 45]

Thanks chaps I appreciate it

Alan, I agree with the general opinion, the combo looks good, and as you point out, a few more coils added and it will look spot on....

real starting to look good and each post it gets better, well don Alan,

Alan, I agree with the general opinion, the combo looks good, and as you point out, a few more coils added and it will look spot on....

I do agree with Ron and others on the wire, another coil will look much better, just add more death to it,

I must say your figures turned out well, and ever the cap badger well done o_O

[Alan 45]

Thank you Moni and Ron I appreciate it

I'm going to see if I can alter a figure to look like he's preparing a Bangalore torpedo , might not work but I will never know if I don't try

[Alan 45]

Ok primary colours are now on and once dry I will add some lighter shades to give it an authentic look I hope [ATTACH]83684.IPB[/ATTACH]

Beach is now done and I've put some grass and a couple of bushes [ATTACH]83690.IPB[/ATTACH]

Once the greenery is dry I will remove the excess so it's a bit more sparse and start adding the hedgehogs and barbed wire

[Alan 45]

Just had a but of a play and I think its starting to take shape [ATTACH]83691.IPB[/ATTACH]

That looks ace Alan, especially with the Sherman in the shot - you can see how it's going to take shape now.

[Alan 45]

Cheers Patrick I'm pleased you like it

I've just got some tweeking to do and then it's the fun part of troops and machine gun nests and lots of sandbags

[eddiesolo]

Really taking shape now, the angles, colours all starting to bring it to life. Even my lad says: 'He's good at it.' That's all you get from him, so it must be good for him to utter anything.

thats looking great Alan, real like the use off color and greenery you have used, , the cliff face is so well done, do like it

if you are going to try and alter a little guy do you have the hard plasic ones ? if so use one off them the other are so hard to try and glue, or there is a trick i dont know with them,
