1/35 Scale Shadow box Dinner on the front line from Miniart.

[JR]

Fantastic workmanship John, and I was thinking I was working on a small,fiddly model, it's nothing compared to what you are doing. Pay no heed to the TBC as us UTB men have to keep trying to convert them.

Andy.

That's kind of you to say Andy, at least there isn't a chassis, God I hate those .As these parts are mainly on their own I can cope !
The TBC are now outlawed here ! I just can't help being untidy while I'm in full build mode .

Great progress John , maps look spot on.....did you make them up?
figures coming along nicely

Love the bacon and eggs and other bits....great touch but now I’m hungry
Always extra impressed with what you achieve mate

Hi Si, thank you.
The maps are taken from WW2 Russian /German images on Google. I tried to reduce them and make the whole map 1/35, but failed. Can't find the program I once used. So did a print out and picked a detailed section and cut it out .
The eggs and bacon have come out better than I hoped , just did a dot of Vallejo filler for the eggs, and a slight worm for the bacon allowed to dry and then painted.
More figure work to day .

this is very nice work hear John love the stove and all the food ,

Hi Moni, pity it's not in smelly vision, that smell of bacon gently frying !

Loving it John - top work !!

Hi John
As Tim so rightly says it is the little details that bring this to life and raise it to the next level. Truly great work.

Fantastic work Dzohn, it's all the little details like the food & the maps that are really making the build.

Anything is better w/bacon. PaulE

 

[yak face]

Great work john , the eggs and bacon are looking really tasty although only 2 rashers of bacon for all those hungry ivans , its going to kick off when its serving up time , especially if theyve been hitting the Vodka ! ( that Samovar isnt full of tea!) cheers tony ( UTB club subscriber )

 

[Mini Me]

I'll have sausages with my eggs please, John......fried bread sounds good also. Rick H.

 

[wotan]

I trust you are going to put one of your bulbs in the stove, since nobody wants cold eggs.

Thanks Graeme, a lot of these details just come to mind as you progress.

Totally agree Paul.

Bacon is reserved for the cooks friends , IE Members of the UBC !

Right Rick, the breads quite fresh so will be perfect. one or two slices ?

John

Hi John, yes bulbs are ready, two types, both flickering .

More later as have to conduct some major surgery on an arm ( Not mine ) need to alter the angle of a left arm to look as if he's holding the frying pan . If it's never mentioned again don't ask .

Beans....you want beans! Haven’t you seen blazing saddles! The effect in that dugout could be catastrophic!

An interesting fact about that. It was the first film passed by the British board of Film Censors to allow Farting on the big screen

 

[Tim Marlow]

It was also the first film passed by the board of censors that made me laugh so much I fell off my seat five times.....

Indeed i have Tim......
...... but surely any type of "Bunker Buster" should`ve been planned for?!!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Bunker busters are conventional weapons....beans are classed as chemical warfare and are therefore outlawed under the Geneva convention!

You guys crack me up !!!

Greetings, the recent comments met with explosive !!! laughter here in the bunker.
As Tim rightly said . "beans are classed as chemical warfare and are therefore outlawed under the Geneva convention! "
Thanks Andy.

Rightly so Tim. Though rushing into a dug out and farting would probably cause as much panic as a direct hit.

Not in our house!!!

Or here for that matter Andy, I train regularly with the All England Free Farting Club based here in the cave !

You guys crack me up !!!

Glad to make you laugh, Nick this is the type of post you can expect from the above members of the Rabble.
