Tifaruin Buildings WIP

A quick update on my progress for "Tifaruin 1923" the SOTCW game at Gauntlet.
Here is the set up for the various towns. Afrau at the front (on the coast) Tifaruin on the right with the mosque and Sidi Messaud on the left.

Along with the mosque there are a number of other new buildings, plus quite a few old oneswhich I am tarting up ready for the game.

Only one week to Gauntlet

Only one week to our local show "Gauntlet" further details can be found on the club website.

Hopefully I'll have everything ready for the SOTCW game finished by then.

The long and winding road

Not quite, but since the big game the focus has been on preparation for the SOTCW game at Gauntlet. For last years game I created a road for the Chuinzi pass, and I had intended to create more if I had time, now a year has past and at last I have completed the rest of the roads.

Here's a sample

The basis is some left over rubber roofing from when my garage roof was repaired. It was cut to size and then covered with brown acrylic sealant with builders sand sprinkled on top. It was then painted up in suitable dusty colours and some scatter glued along the edges. The one problem I had was that the weather was a lot hotter than this time last year so the sealant had almost set before I added the sand so it brushed off. Therefore I had to add another layer of sealant on most pieces and rather than complete spreading all the sealant I added the sand after each piece.

Back from the Big Game

Just back from the big game, this year it was covering the action on the British beaches on D-Day.



I've uploaded the pictures on flickr

German Armed Trawler (2)

Now complete with a nice selection of Kriegsmarine crew from the Revell German Navy set obtained in a trade. Thanks Ken.

It's moored up against my new wharves that I have created for the forthcoming Tifaruin game.

Befehlspanzer I

Another oddment that has been lurking on the painting table for a while. A BefehlsPanzer I, the command version of the Panzer I.

Model by Frontline, this means by early war German panzer battalion is now completed.
