Bit of bridge testing with my son and our Pershing.
A 3rd Tiger turned up today so we are about to have battles! Fight for the bridge to come

So was at the local tea room and play area with the kids and noticed they had thinner longer wooden mixing sticks. Let's just say I may have 'used' a few too many for our orange juice! Haha.

Good idea....you've just reminded me that Starbucks have lots of them where you stir your coffee, now I know what I can do with them.
Love the Bridge by the way, very good.

I have enjoyed these, but now I want a watch tower and spot light.
But I also need to get on with the tanks.
Good thing my 3rd Tiger arrived and I got this working and am planning upgrades.
Have acquired a concrete air block which will be used for bunker and machine gun en placement

Copied an idea from Marco Peter.
All I had was an old Chinese takeaway container. So I decided to make a wooden lined dig in with step/seat

Rockery still needs a little more shaping. But getting there.
Also by luck u found concrete mixed up from bottom of bucket. Up turned it looks like a concrete bunker
