PSC 105mm guns a very basic kit

Hasegawa 155 long toms 

Thirteen kits completed of the goal of 16.

82nd Airborne Market Garden Plans

82nd Airborne Market Garden build 

I have commenced my 82nd airborne for the Arnhem campaign, I already have plastic US Airborne with a few metals for my Market Garden Airborne troops. I have a mix of Alder and SGTs Mess plus various artillery bits mostly in the support pieces.

This build will be specific 82nd metal Alder figures for the replacement of the plastic figures in the battalions. I also plan to add correctly marked jeeps, a supply drop area for Groosbek and a new glider artillery battery, plus a AB metal Glider battalion in normal US greens, three Waco gliders also need to be built too. 

Cheers

Cheers

A A shipping business, I will strip off the flower beds, base coat the brickwork and roof and add details

Ardenne Abbey, Normandy

Working on my unpainted building pile and I decided to paint my Ardenne Abbey after visiting in May. I purchased the 20mm Raventhorpe Model some time ago and have never really got around to building it. I plan to build the main buildings surrounding the abbbey in 20mm so a lot to cram onto a 600 x 600 terrain board. The main features are the tithe barn, the grand gate and the port gate, along with the gardens. As the piece will only feature on some games I thought that the only permanent pieces will be the hedges and fences, and the gardens, so I can swap out for a chateau or something else on the tile also.
A feature around the property is a 2.5 to 3m stone fence, I have purchased a random stone roller to make them, stay tuned

Cheers
