I seem to routinely loose parts that are the size of that whole thing, so... don't sneeze! :D

This is where I am so far,

Anything to use as an excuse to "not" paint 1:35 scale heads!!!

A simple sandy base, as this will be a North Afrika 1941 scenario all on a 6 x 4 photo frame

It's not a slice of toast with peanut putter!

Image

The victims of the mini scenario,

The bren carrier and 6lb AT

Image

The Pz IV D

Image

The Hurricane

Image

and some participants too!

Image

Just need an old fashioned metal coat hanger to turn into a palm tree to support the Hurricane flying over the scene

More soon?

Thanks for popping by chaps

Its slow progress as returning to work has been a big part of the past few weeks which has sapped any desire to build!

I am having to use my hobby desk for work which doesn't make the switch to hobby that interesting after a busy 8 hour shift, along with the weird cold/hot weather too!

Hopefully things will change soon as we are expecting 35% of the work force to return in the next few weeks after they were transferred to travel to help out after the Covid return travel issues.

That was delayed when Spanish holiday makers were stopped from going, and now with other countries being put on a 14 day self isolation on return from holiday.

Everyone is trying to claim on their insurance for their lost holiday costs!

Hopefully a better autumn for hobby work?

More later, hopefully
