DD Sherman
Here is the finished DD Sherman from the box. Pretty interesting vehicle… amazing that, some of them, worked…
I like all the stowage strapped on the back. I didn’t have an aerial recognition decal so just added the normal allied star on the turret.
Also, I’ve included a photo of a real DD Sherman I saw at the Tank Museum!
Landing Craft
To conclude the US forces from The Longest Day box, I have built and painted the two landing craft!
One is a classic Higgins boat for infantry and the other is for transporting vehicles.
There was something nice and old school about putting together wooden boats…
For painting a literally just sprayed them grey and added some decals, it does the job.
German Anti-Tank Guns
With the completion of these Pak 40’s, I have now finished all of the German forces from the box!
I made my own bases for these as the round ones supplied in the box were too small and I wanted to do some interesting basing.
I used a bit of a twig for the fallen tree on one of them… which I think looks great!
The Atlantic Wall
So I have now completed everything in The Longest Day box!
For this post I’m just going to do a photo dump of all the terrain pieces.
For the concrete anti-tank obstacles I filled them in with air drying clay to give them a bit of weight, so they won’t shift around too much on the table.
