A Problem on the Ponte Rivetto Contatore...Fusilli, Italy 1944

[Graeme C.]

The damage to the buildings is impressive & very well done Ron, but I do have a complaint.

Brill' posts. Thanks chaps.


Graeme, your complaint has been noted!

Update.....
I've added damage to the last building along one side of the river embankment. As this one is away from the road, I've lessened the amount of damage.



Here's they are temporarily in position.


Next I'll tackle the two on the opposite bank. Then add the one or two shutters and windows.

Cheers.

I expect you've already got this in hand Ron, but shouldn't there be some signs of damage to the wall between the two buildings on the left?

 

[Ian M]

Dont know Who was bombing or shelling the bridge, but they are way off target!

 

[spanner570]

Thanks for the feedback and observations, boys. Much appreciated.

Dave. Cor, give me a chance, I'm still working on the buildings. I have yet to start on the pretty walls....

Ian. Keep it to yourself, but the bridge isn't the target.

Looks like direct fire damage so far IMHO. Tank vs tank? PaulE

Probably Alfredo Targeto and his cousin Bambino Bombalini! The Blue building looks like it took a flush down the "Loo" of a commercial Airliner 570......overall "Smashing" effect though!

Right got it. The damage was caused defending/taking the bridge. That makes sense.
Which ever way it looks great.

Been travelling this last few days and when I looked at the expected weather forecast, I decided to take me some of the buildings for this diorama to work on should the lousy weather materialize (sad or what?) - And it did!
Anyway, in between drinking wine, consuming peanuts, crisps and watching rain run down the windows of our elderly motor home, here is more progress I managed on two of them.

I've tried for the rundown, rural, scruffy look.......













......two down, three to go.

Thanks for looking.

Suitably scruffified. PaulE

Well "Knackered" if you ask me........Rick H.

And who would live in a house like this?

Beautifully derelict Ron.

Well done.

I've tried for the rundown, rural, scruffy look.......

'In need of some renovation' as the estate agent said......
Looks good Ron.
