Market Garden, Cadet bolt action introduction

A small aluminium tube I got for making turnbuckles

Threaded with shedded dog fur (I have a heavily malting terrier… not good for painting)

Super glued at the base then trimmed to fit

I’m trying to make mirrors, partly for a base and potentially vehicles etc,

Take 1 tomato puree tube, I used a couple of grits of sand paper then polished with Brasso.

Upon experimentation it’s entirely possible to just use brasso it will take longer but the metal will be less scratched

Images seem to indicate the rear and left hand walls were wooden, this would explain how the ammo shed damaged the bunker, I’ll put a lean to shed on the left and wooden stairs behind

On the Morning of the 17th of September citizens of Arnhem witnessed a British aircraft diving on Arnhem road bridge. It’s target was a 2cm Flak gun positioned atop a bunker on the bridge. Whilst the gun was destroyed the Bunker underneath would remain to cause problems for the men of 2PARA. after the initial attempt to seize the far side of Arnhem bridge was repulsed by fire from the bunker a second attempt would be made that night with support of a flame thrower. climbing to the attic of an adjacent house engineers hacked a loop hole through the end wall in order to use the flame thrower. firing on the bunker they hit an ammunition shed beside it neutralizing the bunker but igniting the fresh paint on the bridge preventing further action to seize the bridge.

The young gentleman appears to be stood over a bust water pipe, or the pin slipped so I’ll use it. I’m thinking of basing it as burnt rubble and sand effect with a gloss varnish in places for the burst pipe

First attempt at paving the bridges involved air dry clay and green stuff worlds small dutch bricks roller, results were inconclusive at best although an imprint was left in places it was very weak.

Take 2

After seeing the terrain tutors video on hirst arts molds I looked for something that could work, unfortunately nothing quite matched and all options were quite expensive, so I made my own.

Plasticine rolled into tiles 5″x2″ and 5″x5″, if you need to expand the amount used apply too much and roll it into your existing work so as to avoid seams, textured using the aforementioned roller then trimmed back to size.

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicon was used to make the molds (wear gloves if you want to avoid looking like a smurf). In order to pour the silicon first construct a dam using Plasticine and liberally coat everything in sculptors Vaseline, then pour and observe with spares to fix leaks.

Working on the assumption that an average door has a width of 3 ft and that an average floor board is approximately 6 ft I trimmed the coffee stirrers to twice the width of a door.

Floor boards are laid across the joists and connected at the joists therefore I’d need to pencil in some joists. I decided their location using the roof joists of sarrisas destroyed terrace.

Trim the “floor boards” so they start and finish on a joist then trim to fill the gap ensuring the planks overlap.

The us airborne sprue doesn’t have a bazooka, however there is a bazooka included in warlords m8/m20 kit. The only arm that seemed to fit is the .30 Browning arm. Hand drilled from top and bottom to get the angle and trigger guard removed.
