Looking nice mo! Like your battlefield drawing it's going to be a big one even at this scale keep the pics coming

Gee

 

[AJay]

This is going to be exciting! Will be good to see this scale as well.........

 

[mobear]

the base for the DIO is roughly 45cm by 60cm the depth will be around 1.5cm as there will be fox holes and craters and mounds(good god what am i doing?lol

You're going to have an assembly line running with this lot matey. I like the idea for the dio you've given us in the drawing,

there's lots of 1/72 stuff to paint though eh, just watch you don't get fed up with repetitive stuff .... i've not touched my Boer war dio for a while ... got 80 out of 140 figures painted (most of them stuck in situ on a 2ftx2ft base) then gave up before i went mad

 

[geegad]

Keep on trucking mo
