Hi Danny,

Seems I had missed a lot of your progress, but I’m up to speed now. Good to see you got through the miniart buildings...I’ve done a couple and they turn out pretty nice, just require a bit of filling in places.

Can’t believe how much you’ve done in so little time...great work, keep it coming :thumb2:

[Guest]

Hi Si thanks my friend! I have quite enjoyed the miniart, as you said little filling here and there require but its great ! These few weeks i had a lot of time to spare so that’s how I managed this good progress! Thanks for following! Best regards Danny

Wonderful work on the buildings. Does the watch towers come with the spot lights as well. As for trench coats all members of the Afrika Korps wore trench coats as it got very cold in the desert at night:smiling3:

The upper shot is very interesting - and a little odd. Yet it looks authentic. The guy in the pith helmet looks like he's chewing his chinstrap even though you can clearly see it on the helmet. And the Allies are wearing an eclectic mix of uniform. Perhaps the chap in the jumper is a local?!

 

[Guest]

Hi there Tim ! Interesting observation maybe the guy biting his scarf im not sure ! Guess we will never find out ! Regards Danny

 

[Guest]

Good afternoon to you all ! I didn’t want it to start any other big kits because I wouldn’t have time to finish it ! On Friday im going on a vacation to the other side of the world for 7 weeks !

[Guest]

Good evening to you all! What an unfortunate event! One hour ago i have received a text message from KLM that my flight has been cancelled .... Grrrrrr! They gived me replacement flight for Saturday so i lost a day out of the vacation! Not happy! Well at least i can claim some money back so i might get lucky and they give the full ticket price back ! Fingers crossed! So with this extra day i might put some figures together tomorrow! Have a pleasant night! Regards Danny
