The longest day

Hi, I decided to post some pictures I took during a holiday in Normandy, we were walking throught the seatown of Port a Bessin and suddenly I noticed something strange? An old advertisment was referring to the bazaar of Ouistreham and yes then I was suddenly struck by the scene of the longest day, one of my favorite warmovies. The scene were Lovat and his troops are attacking the casino of Ouistreham.

After that I saw the small tower, were British soldiers were laying down a hail of lead on the German defenders of the casino before been killed by the German 3.7cm Pak40 in the casino's basement.

I really enjoyed this holiday which took place in 2009, lots of war musea, shops with militaria and modelkits (bought an Airfix crab Sherman tank there), ...

See both location in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzd1gCc5CO8

Advertissement: 0:54-1:00

Tower: 3:12-3:35

And next some museums I visited with the family:

- Arromanches, musée de débarquement

- Arromanches 360 cinema

- Musée airborne, Saint mère église

- Point du hoc (free entrance I think)

- Juno beach centre, Courselles sur Mer

- Gunbattery, Longues sur Mer (free entrance)

- Largest american cemetery near Omaha Beach (70 hectares!)

- A real large musea with PAK 40, FLAK 88, M10 tankdestroyer and Churchil crocodil!

However I haven't visted all museums in Normandy I did my best to see as much as possible.

Greets,

Keep on rock'in!

Hi, here are some pictures of an old but nice project. This time some rockformations, ideal for lotr and warhammer skirmishes because of their "made" look.

Tools used

- Hotwire tool

- Stanleyknife

- Brushes

Materials used

- Polystrene

- PVA

- Sand

- Static grass

- 2 tones of grey paint

How to

1) Cut the polystrene pieces into smaller pieces.

2) Carve the edges with a stanleyknive and the hotwire tool (and runes if wanted).

3) Add PVA and sand to the horizontal surfaces.

4) Paint the entire piece with a dark grey.

5) Paint the entire piece with a lighter grey.

6) Flock the piece.

7) Ready to use!

A close up of some of the larger pieces.

The standing rock with rune carvings.

The biggest rockformation of the entire set.

Greets,

Shanty town (15-20mm)

Hi, here's some new progress on a thing I really wanted to make: a 15-20 mm shanty. However I don't have any suitable miniatures I stumbled on some rather nice 1/72 technicals and rebels from a dutch online retailler. So when I finished one of my projects (if you can finish a project?) I will maybe start a new one involving rebel factions, us army, nato, ...

Some of the buildings were ment to be bunkers or atolls for a scifi or stalingrad game but were eventually corporated in this project.

The entire shanty (some additions are likely to follow).

Some details on one of the huts.

The shanty with a FOW 15mm SS artillery spotter.

One of the hut bases. (chimneys were made out of balloonsticks).

Another hut base now with a walled court.

Random shot of some huts.

And at last another random shot.

I hope you like them.

Greets,
