Cheers mates
You will have to without the chaps running a shooting but here are some super current pics from today: I have been adding rubble , the mortar is fixed, as is the sniper casualty some gear and details around the mortar position is fixed - need more spent shell casings ammo boxes maybe cardboard boxes like the one in the gutter. Much more rubble and debris to be added here and there.
The neglected garden is done - i really like this element.
Some thoughts on the story:
Yes the chaps have been caught out in the open - but
why?
The road past the house could be blocked - I plan to add a smaller type jersey barrier in the bottom of the dio near the edge - works well as a filler but would also illustrate a dead - end . This could necessitate getting out of the truck and maybe checking the map - the could be illustrated by a map spread on the hood of the car some water bottles standing on the hood - " break time" chaps running could have been surveying the terrain and the chap spraying and praying could have been studying the map when the sniper attacked, picking out a obvious target - the hapless guy manning the ZU -23 he has slid down from his seat and fallen to the ground.
The story is predicated on the chaps believing that the ares is relatively safe - the tremendous firepower of the ZU - 23 notwithstanding , this is still a soft skinned vehicle, not a frontline one, or they could just be taking a calculated risk by standing still...
I have annotated some of the pics
More details are need here - righthand rocket needs to be weathered
So, guys go or nogo for the traffic sign ? - I like it - after all this used to be a street junction but it might look a bit out of place or?
The garden
Our casualty - he needs some more rubble around him and either a personal weapon (an LMG) or .. a water bottle....
