I had intended to back pedal a bit, but 'cos the weather is slowly improving I'm getting vibes from 'Her' and she is leaving camping books lying around, so...
Here is the start of the 1/35 scale Dog Green second phase 'The Assault'
Darren, Bobby and the others are all off the beach and attacking the enemy M.G. positions so as I intended to do something along those lines from the start, I was just going to have a German position in a depression being attacked.
For the base I had intended to use a small tray that you get stuff from the Deli in, but I found this 6"x9" plant tray in the greenhouse...Then it came to me, a ready made bunker!! So I hacked it about to put a slope to the ground and also simulated a very lucky direct hit on the roof, then spread my usual stuff on.
I haven't based it on any pictures, it's just imaginary.
I decided a small, sandy path would look o.k.. I ran a line of PVA along then sprinkled sand on, turned the thing over, tapped it to remove the excess.
I finally painted any white bits on the bunker with Matt dk. grey acrylic.
Loads to do yet, add detail to the bunker, some foliage, barbed wire, choose figures and who knows what else that might come into my nut!
At least we're off the beach, and running...
Cheers,
Ron
