    Handbook of Germans Ww2 forces

    Hi I posted this link in another thread but thought it worth posting in its own reference thread. The link is to a web version of a huge document produced in 1945 by the US army which was a pretty complete handbook on German WW2 forces. It contains details on everything from structure to...

    Turret Bunkers

    Hi Dave the answer to your question is; it depends ...! It depends on what they were defending. Built as part of a general defensive line they could be manned by infantry or SS troops. However if they were used as part of the defence of an artillery installation it becomes a little more...

    Hi Guys i'm wading through the models-to-be-finished-before-I-start-the-ECW-charge and this is the latest one - a great little figure I got off ebay: The idea /i had was to embed her in a block of clear resin with a 'coral' background; here area couple of photos of the result: The amount...

    Bail out practice ...

    I have finally finished this one. It was inspired by this photo: I used the HK Models Lancaster cockpit model and the ICM British pilots set to build this version: It was a fun project - aircraft are not really 'my thing' so was a challenge. I was disappointed with the HK kit - it has...

    Submersible discovering a lost U Boat

    I've been pondering on the front of the case, just plain wood might look a bit bland. I placed the sub in an old box and used two 'L' shapes of card to replicate the hole in the front I worked out the rough size of the hole and the rough size of the box itself. in the past I used some pine to...
