The Char B1 Bis is as good as finished and next to do is some figure painting, I will start with these two French tank crew men having a chat and a smoke between the actions. Civilians, infanry soldiers, resistance etc. will be added too later on...  Best regards ! AG. |

You keep making it better, figures are good for scale and make these new mini dio's that have been on the rise a nice appearance.

Hey guys, It's time to pick up this thread again... I have to wait for the corrugated iron stuff for my Rusty Admiral barn section. In a couple of weeks I'd like to build a street section with a destroyed factory wall section as a background. This is a photo I will use as a guideline, I like the blue and red tones :  ONLY for reference purposes ! Best regards ! AG. |

Thanks friends ! The coming weeks I will try to inspire you to work with cork and I guarantee it will be big fun. The cork will be used to make bricks (6mm X 2mm and 1mm thick).  These small bricks will be glued on one by one onto a surface known as architects board, I use white glue (wood glue). I purchased 10mm and 5mm tick board.  Best regards ! AG. ***An update follows by each phase of the construction. |

Hi Andy,working with cork can be very effective if done the right way. These French tanks were in fact superior in 1940, but they weren't used well tactically. Thanks buddies !  |

Thanks buddies ! Today I started drawing the ruined factory corner. I cut the architect's board into shape.  Now I have a base to (wood)glue on the cork bricks and ornaments. Best regards ! AG. |

Nice start, does the architect's board go under the commercial name of Forex (that is a polistyrene sheet sandwiched between cardboard)?
