Yep I always wanted to build it as a Permanent Dio and not a wargaming set up - hence why Im cutting them off thier bases when I am ready to fix then down with super glue and possibly pins into thier feet, just need to work out the muddy areas. OC. -
I could do with doing the road last I guess so I could push some of the figures into it a bit - I think (Just guessing here and probably not the way to do it) OC.

Do you find you need to give the Vallejo primer a good few days to harden before putting paint layers ontop? I find if it hasn't had enough time its still soft and scrape off with a finger nail. OC.
-
Indeed Ken. OC.
-
Another interesting aspect - I will be taking the bases off the figures so they will be on thier feet, would be good if I could show them slightly bogged down as the ground had been sodden from heavy rain so thier feet would have been partially covered in the soft grounds I would have thought? OC.

My dad used to tell me that test pilots of MB bang seats back then in the Meteor used to grow a few inches then shrink the same amount during firing and coming down in the chute, how true that is Im not too shure - but interesting anyway. OC. -

Oh, just thought Ideas-suggestions? I was going to use sandpaper for the strip of roadway, the idea I thought of - glue it down with PVA then prime it and paint in Grey and weather it - what do you think? OC.
-
You have reminded me to order some more PVA brother - "Ta" will put that on me list - quiye excited about it now I have the main bits ordered. OC.

Apperently the last pic - its comes pre made on a strip, I will be adding some soil/dirt and trees to that as it will be for the orchard where the french first attacked, then the other end where the veg garden was (not as mutch room that side) I will possibly use some of the same - make it all look beat up from all the trampling off the all the soldiers. OC.
-
Thank you kindly brother. OC.
-
I dont think I would have the skill brother - I think I would be scared of it going wrong, keep going I know you will inspire me to one day have a bash. OC.
-
So - info about stuff I have on the way - The Clarisa Farm complex in MDF self assembly to be painted and weathered, A section of pre formed rough ground scenery, Some scenery dirt/soil, Some trees, I am still looking around for a case/base checking out my best options. Here's some pics of what I brought - OC.

Thank you Ken for saying that, I guess we all have like parts of our emotions - we switch on our caring head and get on with emergencies that crop up, then to preserv ourselves we emerse ourselves in a hobby kind of like our own self healing. Thankfully I have you lot here - my family💜 putting a purple heart cuz Its my way of saying Thank You. OC.

No Denis, he had cut himself off from the world not answered any text messages and his phone was just ringing out, we sent him a care package before christmas but was not delivered, cut along story - I found out who is local psot office is gave then a ring and the care package was with them, the nice chap there agreed to try and drop it at my bro's but on Two visits no reply so he left it with my bro's neighbour, she took it in and over several days tried knocking to get my bro to to answer, in the end she was worried and rung the police, they had to go through her's and over the fence and broke into his around the back where they found him very poorly and in his bed, they called for an ambulance who then put him in a streatcher and rushed him to hospital. From what I was told if we had not sent the parcel it would not have led his neighbour to have rung the police ans he would probably have been dead now as he hadn't eaten or drank for days. He has had a few things happen over a short time perod thats made him very depressed leading to him not looking after himself also with lock downs it must have scared him about going out even for food. It is a worry. but I try to give myself somthing to focus on as constatntly worrying about him wont change anything (hope that does not come across un caring) OC.
