Managed to find some photos taken by others of my game at CAHAGIYTYLE or "Come and have a go if you think you're LARD enough 2026".

20mm scenario, 1940 Biville Normandy.

Finishing touches to a Panhard 178 in 20mm. STL from Counlane Models www.wargaming3d.com/brands/counl...

Very pleased with the additional wine box stowage too!

Easy storage and modular design so I can use the buildings individually.

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!

Church breaks up into 3 sections that can be used individually if needed. Steeple from octagonal hell also removable for ease of storage

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…

Eskice STLs at 20mm on 50mm bases

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.

What?!? Painting Germans?!? I know I have sunk so low. First time playing with feldgrey, wish me luck

It's only a small thing but I probably most proud of my 20mm WWI war memorial. A combination of Eskice STL and some custom design. First time doing verdigris and pleased with how it turned out.

All the very best from my not so Tiny to you and yours in '26!

Yes I know it's not Early War, or French or German or indeed khaki but sometimes you need a wolf!

Dry run through of the table setup for Battle of Biville-la-Baignarde at the club ready for our Lardy Day. Still need to build a church and a couple of buildings but scenario played out well and was fun too! You can fit a lot of a village on a table in 20mm.

Some simple Disaster and Setback card holders for a LoTR themed Strength & Honour game at our upcoming Lardy Day. If anyone wants the STL just let me know.

What if Rommel’s wife had flu and he didn’t leave Normandy when he did, what if Rommel has moved 12 Pzr, 22nd Pzr, 26th PzrGren and 25th Pzr to the St Lo/Bayeux region on 2nd June?

Interesting “what if D-Day failed” read.
