Paul,
Glad I caught up with you. HESCOS are still the bane of your existence as I observe. Tremendous progress otherwise! As you well know things are not easy for us 87 scalers.
Keep up the good work,

Great to see you are still working on this project. Look forward to seeing the next update

Something to report. Progress on HESCOs. Some riprap along the base to prevent erosion/undermining on the one side and a dry fit of WIP HESCO assy on the other side.

Nice! Are you nearly there now Paul?

[minitnkr]

Thanks Rick. Closer Steve, there is concertina wire to install on top of the HESCOs as well as filling them. There is also crew for the Gepard & I've been thinking I should make some covers for the guns aboard unmanned vehicles. PaulE

Finished filling & attaching HESCOs. Next is concertina wire & maybe MG covers for parked vehicles. C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Paul,
It looks like the Mojo is dialed in, MG covers seem appropriate unless all are duty vehicles ready to deploy. Looks good from here!

Thanks RickH & Ross. Some progress made, started covers (thought reflective better?), added rough dirt here & there (darker dirt drying), chg'd PC crews slightly, and prepped HESCOs for concertina wire. PaulE

Paul I like what you've done with the darker soil. Tends to break up the flatness somewhat and adds depth to the overall appearance. Happy 4th !

Just noticed little thumbsups under posts. Thanks to all commenting, sorry I missed you till now. Is that accomplished w/Report icon?
HESCOs are done. Now searching for Gephard crew. Concertina wire and workers aboard skip loader are to finish installing wire stage left (best seen in 2nd pic.
