Hi guys, after a long (much too long) time I found a couple of hours of benchtime. With one room left to finish in the appartment the end of the hard work is almost over but I still have to take care of both my parents (77 and 87 of age). I have two unfinished projects on the shelf but this will be a straightforward one. The Carentan house corner was made of plastic card, textured with Magic Sculp, and cork. It's just a start. The 3 paratrooper figures are from Soga Miniatures. Maybe the next update will take a while. Best regards, Guy.

Kudos for all your hard work away from the bench! It will pay off! Great to see ya got a couple minutes to tool around with a new project. After looking at those paratroopers, I'm thinking something seems to be missing. Maybe it's just me! LoL

Joe, paratroopers never lose their heads. Duke, I'm glad to be back bud ! Not much of an update, the house section was given a little more texture. It needs more detail, I'll dive into my photo archive.

Hey Bruce how are you ? There's more to add but nothing too difficult is coming this way I think. Joe, good one ! I'll complete the figures shortly. Stevebrotha ! So glad to be back in business. To be honest I'm a little afraid to paint the sharp detailed figures, I nog longer have the eyes of a hawk. The house section was dryfitted with more basic plastic sheet. Time to finish this part of the diorama with more details. Best regards ! Guy
