We’ve just had a couple of late cancellations for our lard day near Southampton this Saturday. We had a good reserve list but we’ve cleared out the subs bench. If you fancy coming along let me know. First come first served!

3/ Scratch building a 20mm version of Saint-Paterne in Biville-la-Baignarde.

Nearly there. Windows and doors attached, roof tiling completed. Dry brushed and washed, just painting doors and clock to go. N.B. never tile an octagonal steeple!

2/ Scratch building a 20mm version of Saint-Paterne in Biville-la-Baignarde.

Basic build done, remind me never to do an octagonal steeple again! Time to let it dry then texturing next

Scratch building a 20mm version of Saint-Paterne in Biville-la-Baignarde.

Measured and scaled from aerial photos, designed in SketchUp and construction in 3mm foam board.

Modular design for easy storage and option to use each building on it's own.

Nearly finished the tank scrape for the R35 scheduled for appearance in the Battle of Biville at our upcoming Lardy Day.

Needs varnishing, grass tufts and then some vegetation camouflaging it and I can then call it done.

I know they aren't official Colonel Muller miniature Chasseurs but with a little editing and replacing their heads from Des tranchées aux barricades, they sort of work for me!

Scaled to 20mm.

Starting on a tank scrape for a R35. Cardboard base, DAS modelling clay banks built up and model checked for fit.

Any Early War table needs its fair share of civilians caught up in the chaos, even if you are a beefy looking nun…

Early War German LMG Teams done supplement existing platoons. Not too sure on scheme but it will pass for now. Just need to base up and they are done for now.

A small gallery of just some of my Early War French forces in 20mm. Painting guide on the blog as well if you would like to see my approach.

Plenty left to do - gun crews, Panhard and a bunch of Chasseurs too
