Hi Claude,

Many thanks. Display space is at a premium where I live so linking the elements together accomplished several builds at the same time.

All the best and looking forward to your next project!

Cheers

Hi folks,

Whilst I await the release of the new ICM British troops, I got a little more done kit wise. I've started to add some personal kit for the linemen which will be stacked to one side of the telegraph poles.



I've started some webbing of the leather pattern to compliment the personal kit and I will do some haversacks/water bottles to hang up around the gun emplacement.



I finally glued the wagons and Crewe tractor down and added the locking pins for the connections and I added the storeman lighting a cigarette for his mate just back from the front. (more later)

Some 2ps represent where the marching infantry will go if and when they arrive and I've started a tool box for the linemen.



Cheers

Hi Alan ,

i've got finally back the time to look at your fantastic diorama.

A little bit crowdy there, but still very interesting . I like your style of creating dynamic scenes.

Looking forward for more...

Cheers

Kurt

Hi folks,

This is the equipment pile in place with just a little weathering on the helmets required.
