My photo
Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

Some plastic and some toothpicks - Finished!

Hi everyone!

It's been a rather long day for me (plenty of work, house errants and social contacts), that's why I ended up uploading my finished work so late.

If you've seen my last post, I put up a quiz, regarding the usage of some plastic men and toothpicks. Most of you have figured out what I was planning to do, and below you will find the photos confirming this. I decided to make some figures using bangalore torpedoes with some toothpicks! They came out a bit too bulky (they should have been slimmer), but when I came up with the idea in using some round plastic, the painted toothpicks were already stuck on their bases. :-)

 I got this idea when reading a book from Osprey publishing, showing some plucky Brits, storming a bunker with the help of some smoke and some bangalore torpedoes. 

Apart from showing the finished bases with the figs, I decided to be the 'director' of the storming phase, moments before the bangalore torpedoes explode! :-)

Off you go then - enjoy:

The finished bases:


The attack on the bunker:



The view from inside the bunker:



The preparation for the destruction of the barbed wire posts:


I hope you like em. As you see, they were really easy to make.

Cheers everyone!
T.
