            Interesting to read the notes about the unit and what they could achieve……and of course, some great progress from yourself :thumb2:

              Evening Paul,
              You are already one of my hero's just for the fact that you can work in these tiny scales, but also to produce dio's like this is fantastic. Very informative thread as well , i knew nothing about the units you are portraying. BtW i'm a bit late to the table but thought i would let you know...i liked the first layout too, Looking forward to following along now.

                          Looks wonderful to my non military untrained eye, so full of interesting mini stories within a larger one.

                              What a brilliant layout Paul.
                              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
