Update to Normandy Well:
I picked up some Ornate Crosses from “R&J” Products at the Seattle show and some “tahk” 20 liter canisters “Jerry Cans” for Wasser (water) or Holy Water in this case.
I completed two jeeps (I even managed to smash them a few times transporting them back and forth to and from Fred's place on Friday nights). I had pictures of the build, but somehow the gremlins deleted them off my camera when I was taking pictures at the Seattle Model show (Reads I must have deleted them without saving them to my hard drive) DUH.
The well is basically built and needs to be worked on a bit. Then painted and have water added.
I blasted out the base at Fred's last Friday night. It is the basic “Dollar Store” picture frame, with everything pulled out. I cut foam core board to fit where the glass was. Removed it and scribed in the brick street. Then added another layer and scribed in the sidewalk. The base for the well will be cut out so that it sets into a recessed area to make it more part of the scene.
This is the basic layout (minus) the figures and I need to pull a few more out of the parts box. The chaplain will need an escort, his driver is carrying the Jerry cans full of holy water back to the jeep to be dispersed to the junior chaplains under his command.
One of the jeeps has a Browning .30cal Machine gun mounted in front of the passengers section. This jeep was provided to keep the Chaplain safe on his hunt for “Holy Water”.
It appears that I won't have room for the Church wall Ruins, but I guess that will have to be another diorama. I might be able to fit some broken stained glass in though, so keep watching.
Hope you enjoy
