Indeed, Paul my thoughts on the storyline for the building is that infantry has tried to "soften" the fortified building and might have tried to storm it but found it a nut too hard to crack and called in an airstrike.

sandbagging the building has commenced.. Ref pics from Aleppo show improvised use of anything that could hold anything was used for sandbags - including pillowcasings (coincidentally also used by opposing forces during The Great War when at the outset sandbags were in short supply) and used rice bags . you know the big white ones - I cant remember the term - also plastic bags were used so I will include some of them as well.



refshot showing the variety used mine will look similar - ish (i do not own the rights - purely for educational use)

Working on the counter for the convenience store in the smaller building debris from the collapsed ceiling has smashed the glas parts of the counter - not quite done but you get the gist i trust

Steven.
Coming on in leaps and bounds, love the roller door and the shop counter, that debri that has crashed through the top on the right , with the shelf at an angle is a brilliant touch .

Thanks a lot for the comments Gents - appreciated

Bit of a side note:
Some goodies arrived today - I can't scratch everything you know :hungry:
I especially look forward to doing this - An improvised mortar - or "Helfire Cannon" as it is also known as
Firing improvised shells made form gas canisters, random as hell and just about as dangerous to fire as to be on the receiving end of


Big utilities post

Blue - tacked and not weathered at all ( weathering will be quite heavy) - what do you think? - I might move the bigger one op a bit ....

The signs are looking good and add some colour and depth to the build
