Designing a theatre feel for a wargames table - check pictures from the era directly or indirectly linked to the battle or conflict, paintings or photos depending on when it occured. Look at a lot of them and make notes, details, buildings, fences, bridges. 1/5

Block colours applied to the two test minis. I used a different uniform colour for them, not a very good idea for comparison sake but I wanted this new unit to look different.

Looking at northeastern France, especially the region around the Somme, I am surprised by how many historical buildings visible in 1939 aerial photographs are made of exposed brick. Some even have terracotta roofs. This is not the type of architecture most wargamers typically associate with France.

Added another French concrete road sign to the collection. Bonus points if you can find where the reference picture was taken. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6823716

Today I discovered you can look at older pictures in Google Street view. A partially hidden building in 2024 was completely visible in 2009.

I believe I have managed to shrink these 3D Breed French in a way that they will mix with the ones from Forged in Battle.

I was really excited about Flames of War getting into Early War this year, but with their new casting material, all their miniatures look 2D. Never played FoW but I like the convenience of a full platoon out of the box. What a shame.

Working on a little culvert, no idea how to paint water.

Another 3D thingy I created back in 2020 but, for some reason, never got around to sharing. This time, it's a greenhouse and a half-greenhouse designed to be placed next to a building.

Hi FDM printer types. Any clue what's happening here? Extruder seems to be working okay. Washed the print bed. Ran calibration. New nozzle installed. Any ideas? #3dprinting

I uploaded another 15mm 3D building. This one has two roof options but I have not printed any of them yet. www.thingiverse.com/thing:7127799

Any historical wargaming podcast I should be following? Currently I'm following The Oddcast, WWS, Hobby to History.
