From DaveD - Clearing out the real estate - 30 points

 After a few session of green stuff  I decided I wanted to clear out the buildings “to do” .


First up some 10mm resin from Pendraken for the ACW collection . 


Then the 15mm 3D printed items I had picked up last year to add to the Normandy collection . The water tower is a nicely different piece and provides a bit more height to the table too at around 7 inches tall . The “Gare” and the Garage both are very evocative of French buildings. The others will go together as parts of the expanding townscape. The next game we are due to play is Carentan so I am looking forward to seeing that table set up. 



I also found an old pill box piece in the stash so that got completed too 





JamesM had found a 15mm French infantryman in his stash so I have turned it into a classic 1st War Memorial that you will find in French towns (it’s when you read those that you realise the price France paid in WW1)   - it’s mounted on an 6 sided dice with a bit of tile grout added . 



The buildings are worth 27 points in terms of volume , plus 3 for 15mm war memorial figure . Total of 30 points 

Next up is to break out the airbrush …

** edit - I have set up the various buildings for a quick layout to work out what’s next to do for it . More yards and gardens 




Nice work on the buildings, Dave, and a good job converting that figure and dice into a memorial.

  2. Excellent work, Dave. I love the memorial. I agree, about seeing these dotted all over France, no matter how small the community. The cost (and effect) of the Great War to that country was staggering.
