Awesome work Si

Ta Joe, glad you like it mate. Added some abandoned weapons and made up some fuel barrels and jerry-cans, got some packs to spray up and add to the jetty.

I do like it, very much. The jetty looks very realistic, I want to build something like this at a later date for my Arado floatplane.

You know Joe, I was talking to Alan about the jetty and was worried it didn't look convincing as a rough concrete structure, also the colouring and weathering. I would like to see your attempts at a jetty with the Arado, that would look something special.

UPDATE

​

Alan couldn't wait until I had sorted and painted the barrels etc so here is an update of the 1/35 scale Dunkirk jetty. Weapons are in place and a few more items then the debris and water effects.

No problems mate, they need sanding then painting, thought the battered ones looked better than the non-battered type, got some stuff to add but not too much, this is a last ditch escape attempt, just three or four soldiers that decided to dump their heavier gear and take their chances. The kids have wandered down to the jetty just before the Germans arrive and are sadly looking about not knowing what to do.

Oh, are you one of those people that have to use a forehead pointer ( a broom handle taped onto an old hard-hat you found in a skip, also useful with a sink plunger to pretend you're a Dalek) to type because your hands have stopped working due to too much booze?

Oh, its getting really bad now, your multi posting lol. One more mouthful and that's it, you'll be face planting and drooling all over your keyboard or worse face down on the carpet surrounded by broken models lol.

I know that one, thing is I don't even have to be drunk now to do that, the meds I take make me fall asleep, wake up and have missed about an hour of the chuffing thing lol.

Why thank you Andy, although simple to look at it is taking its time, one my AB is dodgy and then my hands are dodgy, so it is a bit at a time...but getting there.
