Hi all! Thought I'd come over to Bluesky and it seems like a nicer place already. I started my Arnhem project last year and thought I'd document the journey on here properly. I'll be adding pics and updates on the project aswell as any other random hobby stuff that comes up. 😅🍻

Paul 😁 the other night you mentioned the 3.7cm Pak being hitched up to the requisitioned airborne jeep. Here's my take on the jeep in preparation for the gun and new jeep owners 😉

Some transfers from District Miniatures over in North America. Really great chap! Ordered on Sunday and arrived here in UK today! Great service! Now to work out which jeep can be allocated to what unit. Do I need more jeeps? 🤪 #Arnhem #Wargames
