About the Project
The Deutsches Afrikakorps, also known as the DAK, was the German expeditionary force in Africa during the North Africa campaign. They were initially sent to aid the Italian forces who were already deployed there after they lost ground against the British forces. With subsequent reinforcements, the DAK eventually pushed the British back and thus started a tug-of-war over the Western Desert. And so my project begins - German Deutsches Afrika Korps

Work carried out at the Bootcamp
Begining with the 5cm PaK 38 then on to the MMG, Medium mortor and HQ (sadly, no monkey)
first up the 5cm PaK 38Used a plastic wood filler (link below), to fill in base, adhere the mini’s and any features in this case cork to represent walls and rock piles. It sets and dries hard (under 30 mins) works very well with MDF, plastic and metal, if the mini’s doesn’t stick you can use superglue with no issues. Great stuff to work with 😀
