About the Project
A couple of years ago the Squadron got involved in a ww2 wargame at armed forces day, when asked recently if there was anything new they'd like to do of a parade night someone suggested wargames. As such I'm building a couple of forces to introduce them to the game hopefully extending to a full blown campaign.

Paving Bridges
First attempt at paving the bridges involved air dry clay and green stuff worlds small dutch bricks roller, results were inconclusive at best although an imprint was left in places it was very weak.
Take 2
After seeing the terrain tutors video on hirst arts molds I looked for something that could work, unfortunately nothing quite matched and all options were quite expensive, so I made my own.
Plasticine rolled into tiles 5″x2″ and 5″x5″, if you need to expand the amount used apply too much and roll it into your existing work so as to avoid seams, textured using the aforementioned roller then trimmed back to size.
Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicon was used to make the molds (wear gloves if you want to avoid looking like a smurf). In order to pour the silicon first construct a dam using Plasticine and liberally coat everything in sculptors Vaseline, then pour and observe with spares to fix leaks.
Bit of Christmas work
Working on the assumption that an average door has a width of 3 ft and that an average floor board is approximately 6 ft I trimmed the coffee stirrers to twice the width of a door.
Floor boards are laid across the joists and connected at the joists therefore I’d need to pencil in some joists. I decided their location using the roof joists of sarrisas destroyed terrace.
Trim the “floor boards” so they start and finish on a joist then trim to fill the gap ensuring the planks overlap.
A touch of kitbashing
Warrant Officer 2nd class in the British armed forces wore a crown and laurel on a leather wrist strap, spare German grenadier arm with watch at the least not many will have their sleaves upThe us airborne sprue doesn’t have a bazooka, however there is a bazooka included in warlords m8/m20 kit. The only arm that seemed to fit is the .30 Browning arm. Hand drilled from top and bottom to get the angle and trigger guard removed.
