This looks fun!

1/72? Is the base manufactured?

Great choice and as it is it could be set anywhere so you are spoilt for what vehicles you want to use.

Hi Aaron it's a base from a dioarama set that I had hanging around the building vehicles and troops will be 1/76 scale as I've dropped these 1/72 tanks on for effect and they somewhat dwarf the farmhouse so definitely 1/76 scale will be used just a bit more work on the farmhouse to do thanks for looking in cheers John [ATTACH]97568.IPB[/ATTACH]

Just tried these 1/76 scale vehicles and they seem better suited to scale for the farmhouse [ATTACH]97569.IPB[/ATTACH]

Here come the axis forces the yanks could be in for some trouble as the jerries are coming mob handed.Only kidding as I will only be using 2 vehicles and not all the troops unless I extend the base by about 2 feet but not sure which vehicles I'm leaning towards the sd.kfz and sturmgeschutz or the tiger11[ATTACH]97572.IPB[/ATTACH]

thanks for looking in and any comments help and advice most welcome time for bed as I have lost all track of time again its a good job no work later think I'll be out looking for snow in the LMS TTFN[ATTACH]97573.IPB[/ATTACH]

Another dilemma who as control of the farmhouse? Did the yanks already take it and are the jerries on the counter attack or will it be a complete surprise to both forces.Location as already been decided though as the allies are on the way to Caen to kick some butt.The Sherman led the way as on the box artwork following the signpost

That KT looks superb, I'd like to get that Pak and Opel kit one day. I love Opel blitzes.

Dark earth applied now for some model building going with the 2 Shermans and a willys jeep if I can find one for the allies axis vehicles 1 sd kfz 251, 1 sdkfz222 and 1kubelwagen haven't completely ruled out the king tiger yet but if it's to be included then the base might have to be extended to accommodate it. Thanks for looking/comments/advice along the way cheers John [ATTACH]97595.IPB[/ATTACH]
