I wouldn't get too worried about it Ole. The Ardennes campaign was very fluid & any defensive positions would have been made on haste. So foxholes would be more like scrapes in the ground.

What I would think of is the many blocking actions that successfully held up the German advance, usually at great cost to the US forces.

Cheers

Well if it's the initial attack, don't go for whitewashed vehicles as there was no snow at that time. Snow didn't start falling in any great amount until 22/12, almost a week into the attack.

Cheers

Ole, I've just had a look on Google Images for the Ardenne Offensive.....Loads of images there for you to drool over!

Your dio. is starting to come together nicely now, keep it up.

Haven't you finished this yet Ole ???

Jeeez, you're taking your time, stop posting on the forum and chit-chatting and get on with it .... you want me to nip over the forth and give you a hand or what ? :smiling3: :smiling3: :smiling3:

seriously mate, coming together nicely .. it's a big undertaking even at 1/72, plenty of groundwork to get together but we can see the progress so all's good.

take no notice of Martin ... i think he has a Lowrey fixation heh heh

I thought I was being quite creative????

Good luck with the little people if the little tanks make you cross eyed wait and see after you've done a couple of the lillyputions

What a task Ole!

This is going to be a cracker....

Watch out for the bottom left set of figures, the two on the right are a Brit. and a Russian!!! Don't put them in by mistake, or we will all jump on you toot sweet!lol

Martin is quite right. When I did my Farm dio., I painted around a dozen 1/72 figures, then called it a day!

You have close on 100, please don't tell us you're using them all in one go!

Good luck.
