Play...eat...play...eat...play...eat! What a great day! It's good to see those "Murrican" tanks, and that KV-1 looks "grody to the max!" Now that's weathering even Bix would like.

Cant wait to get over there one day

definitely not! there are also some secondary effects after eating 'calçots' ... they have a dilating effect on the intestine, so eating a large amount of calçots will also cause your body to react by generating gases, and that is due to the sulfur they contain. So imagine the 'after' effects for hours... farting like a machinegun is not a thing anybody want to do in a first date!

thaks mate, Although to be honest, I don't know what you mean by 'Murrycan', it's meaning escapes my poor english"

best regards chaps

This is just totally wicked, you have no idea how jealour this makes me

I really want to make a model village battlefield locally so can have people come in for a play

Keep up the excellent work

"Murrican" is the way some of us from the US pronounce "American" when we are being facetiously ethnocentric.

Hier im VS, sagen Einige "Murrican" wann sie scherzhaftig ethnozentrisch sind. (Bin ich klar? Mein Deutsch is nur das Buchwissen.)

thanks mate!
the dream of have a big village is on my mind too, i've some ideas to build most of the buildings like a movie set, only to 'look' good, and they will be static and fixed, so the construction materials must withstand the elements, and several other building will be build like the bridge or the port warehouse, will lot more details, and of course they will be stored away, and only put in place for the meetings

aaah, ok, I understand now! thanks!

I love seeing these really elaborate "battlefields". I wish there were more buildings that could be segmented and 3D printed. Of course here in TX they would need to be out of ABS or ASA to stand the heat.

Jussek,

Simply amazing! I really like the color shot of the two Shermans on the bridge with the smoke in the background! Looks so realistic! It's right up there with the KT prowling out of the smoke too!

The line up of dirty Shermans is cool too! I really like the look of that battered KV with the motorcycle on the back! "No guts, no glory", fitting for a tank being driven through a wall of fire! And battle damage too! Living vicariously through you, my friend!

Cheers,
Eric.

hello guys

I plan to use cinder blocs to build the estructure, and i will test a material called fibrociment (without asbestos!) that can be worked like it was wood, so it could be ease to cut to size and form, cut wiondows and doors etc... then encase the blocs with this cover, then paint. We want to test this idea.

I like that you like it mate!

I have been following your build for some time now. You are actually the inspiration behind mine. My yard is much smaller so the terrain is limited. On the south side I have started a village of sorts. It continues to evolve. Layout is dictated by the square footage, All buildings are rough and are in place to help me "size it up." Most materials are cast away surplus.

At the moment all the fresh top soil is being packed down by a level 5 thunderstorm. WE shall see what remains in the morning. I moved the hangar away from the village to install two hills.
