Yep, looks damn good from here. Road and barrier both look good, but the JP is the cat's meow.

Hey Dan,
The weathering on that JP is certainly my cup of tea, I think it looks bloody fantastic! I'm really digging the base as well, nice job with the paving stones.

What's not to like about this whole setup? Very cool looking Dan, love the dirt and barrels behind the barricade and the cobblestone work is nice as well. Going to make a fine home for your JP!

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Thanks for the all the positive comments much appreciated Gary: the camo took ages 4 colours and millions of dots later i think it captured the winter oak leaf pattern!!!!!
Big John the SBS's i have seen look easy but when i try to recreate it it goes horribly wrong!!!! when i get some time and another suitable fig i will do a small SBS if everyone wants me to do 1?
Now onto the base need to get that finished before the next MSC outing in Nov!!!!!

Hey all Right as i have got on and completed the figures it has given me some inspiration and drive to get the base finished so i sat staring at it and could not get any ideas on how to finish it so i googled Berlin 1946 to come up with some ideas as i was trolling through some pics i came across a pic of some Jadcats in Hungary and found that the pic was of the 10th Panzer Div in retreat then found they were the last div to recieve Jacats as the factory was captured by the U.S so this is now the new idea for the mini dio So i started by making a plywood base then stuck 80mm styrofoam to it to gain some height to hide the rough edges i used 1mm plasticard this was attached using UHU power adhesive!!!!! Once this had dried it was on to making a basic house shape out of plasticard i searched for some pics of a hungarian house in the 40's and found a school house pic this looked an easy shape to reproduce many of these builings were a wooden structure and often brick clad so this is my progress so far. Base and school house: The wall and brick work were made from styrofoam underlay here is a quick SBS for anyone wanting a faster way of replicating brick walls: 1. Cut your desired wall size then decide what size bricks you want replicate (i made mine 6mm long and 4mm high) lightly draw the bricks onto the foam using a pen once your happy lightly cut the lines using a sharp scalpal. 2. Now get a Stanley knife blade and place the blade into the lines you just cut and wiggle side to side (not you the blade!!!!lol) this makes the mortar joints 3. To make the wall look old i took a toothpick an pushed in a few bricks and using the pointed end chip the edges of the bricks also sandpaper gives a nice effect to roughen the surface. now some pics of the finishe piece: Some pics of the builing so far figures ae for scale: Dan B
