Please judge gently. These are WIP pics. Many phases to get yet with weathering, highlighting, sealing and adding decals.

But we are starting to move along. On the side burner is a round of American forces for North Afrika. I have a combination of Shermans, Lees, Stuarts, M8 White scout cars, M3 Halftracks and US artillery crews. I will try to post pics when I get the chance. They are just primered and base coated at this time. Nothing too exciting.

Holy smokes Polish! Those look fantastic! I'm totally blown away by the grass and the mud! I'm having flashbacks to the wash rack after a field problem when I look at your vehicles in the muck! Please keep the pics coming!

I was confused - are they, as you say, 'slightly' over scale or are they being held in tiny fingers :twisted:

Hey guys, long time no post. Life appears to be settling down and I have started working on the minis once again. Been a while, but I wanted to start posting pics of my work again. Keeps me going and moving forward. Below are several Italian units I wrapped up for the North Afrika campaign. I have a few pics of the bridge hexes I am starting to mock up. I am also working on anti-tank ditches for the Russian front that I like. So I will post more pics of those in the future.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Stone Bridge. I have 2 of these arched stone bridges to make along with 2 of the truss bridges to make as well. I have plans to create some basic wood bridges as well. But I will probably use my CAD program and 3d print them.

Thanks guys!

I hope to stick around! lol No more torpedoes... very bad they are...

I have a couple of scenarios I want to test out with these bridges and AT ditches... so I need to get through these and set a board up.

Couple of WIP pics of two bridges that I am working on… Trying to find a look that I like… I have these two stone bridges along with two others (on deck circle) and I have 4 truss bridges to do as well. (maybe be a combination of train and roadway bridges)
