Somewhere in Normandy...first stop: Thanosville

Greetings everyone!

Hope you are all well. 

If you have seen some of my previous posts, I've waiting for two folding tables to arrive just to be able to play one day with my toys.

And yes, the day has come! I got them!

Since joy that isn't shared is like a broken pencil (pointless - I borrowed this quote from Black Adder), I have deployed nearly all of my toys on the tables for you to see them. There were some left out cause they couldn't fit in - meaning that I have still plenty to show you in my next posts, but I don't care now, I have tables to play on! :-)

This is my small Normandy town, I'll call it Thanosville. I know that I am a self bragging sod, but you could spare me this time, wouldn't you? :-)

On with the photos:

Most of the models (apart from the church and some houses) are scratch built. I hope you like them!

Have a great weekend everyone! :-)

German 15cm Nebelwerfer

Good afternoon everyone!

Hope you are all well.

September has arrived and I am trying to get back on track, again.

I have been quite busy these past few days, and today I am going to show you my latest work.

I have recently acquired two Nebelwerfer models (metal) - you know, the moaning ‘’minnies’’,  from Britannia Miniatures, as you see in the photos below.

The models were not expensive (3 GBP/model) and they were very easy to assemble.

A sequence of photos from start to finish follows. Gluing, basing, painting and playing (in the end of this post you’ll see what I mean by ‘playing’...).

The bases were made from vinyl tiles and the rest of the stuff around the models were from Sgt’s Mess (Small boxes and German Water cans) and from SHQ (15cm Nebelwerfer rockets - VP10).

Since the Nebelwerfers come without escorts, I used some spare figures I had from PSC Late War German Infantry Heavy Weapons kit.

My name is not Thomas by the way... :-)

Last but not least, I have prepared for you a small video, showing what this little bugger did in reality.

I hope you like them!

Have a good Tuesday night everyone.
