Excellent work on the St. Lo, Bill! I especially like the way the camouflage looks on this model. Having done a couple of ships with camouflage patterns I certainly know how difficult it is to keep the lines straight and the proportions correct. Well done!

Thanks a lot Pete. You should see the paint when I start a measure 30 ship, they look horrible at the start! It’s a process to get the basic shapes and colors in the right spots, then a second going over to straighten everything up, get the curves right, get the angles sharp. I’m glad I only have one Casablanca left for Taffy 3.

Very nice work Bill! When you first glance at the pictures you think there is no way it is a 1/2400 scale model because of all the detail and camo!

I threw in a couple packs of Great War 10mm BEF with my last order from Pendraken, just to check them out.
One pack is two 60cm field guns, with three crew apiece, but I didn't realize the size, so I can paint them, but I'll have to get some larger MDF disks to base them.
And a pack of three Lewis gun crews.

Great looking stuff again, Bill! I really like the 10mm building and the John Gibbon personality figure.
