Arnhem Big Game 2018 Update 27/04

But is it Son bridge? The one shown on a 3D printed kickstarter shows this

More details on the KS here

Only just saw this today

Will,

As I said, someone else has made the model, I am just combining it to the canal. I find these 3D models are oversized and look out of place on RF 20mm battlefields.

Don

I too find the laser cut/3D printed buildings just too perfect for me to represent a building. Everything is so precise it just doesn’t ring true compared to all the other scenic items we have.

Colin having changed the units that I'm providing here is the first of my 10 SS KG for The Island on 20th September.

A mix of very old Dave Allsop, Elheim and Platoon 20 Germans with an EWM (Skytrex) 250.

[Alanmccoubrey]

The Stummel, converted from a Cromwell Uhu. The gun is from the Skytrex 250 above.it was cheaper to buy the 250/8 than a 250/1 plus the SHQ conversion kit

[mausmann]

Nice work Alan.....

And that Cromwell 251 was a bargain, fond memories of those from the past........

[Alanmccoubrey]

Yes indeed John, so hard to get when they were "in production" as well, that man buried more grannies than anyone that ever existed.

Indeed acquiring Cromwell Models has at times been challenging....

Managed to finish the railway today.

Will take proper pictures whew I do the full 'Island' table at the game.



Rough layout of track.





New curves.





Very pleased with the out come.



Should get this finish today.

[mausmann]

Excellent work Don..... I like the idea of an embankment linking to a ground level track, may have to copy that...

[tayerigonzalez]

Impressive

[Don McHugh]

Also managed to finish adding the bridge to my canal section.







Finished all the terrain I am doing, so can now concentrate on the figures.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Really looking forward to the game.

Don,

Great terrain work, very inspiring.

I was asked about 10 days ago if i could supply some more canal lengths and another bridge for the game.

It appears we had forgotten the bridge at Vehgel, so a quick rethink and a redraw of the map meant we needed another 5' of canal.

As the bridge we had already done looked very much like the Vehgel one, I decided to do a representation of the Son Bridge as the new one we need.



The canal and a 'T' road junction have to fit within a 12" square, so bridge is only a representation.



Have had to raise the road so it can go over the canal.



Also needed an extra 4' of canal. I now have a total of 17' of canal.

More soon.

Don, excellent work. I wish I could be there for Market Garden. Please take lots of pictures.

End of the month at a village hall in Yorkshire.

[Don McHugh]

Steady progress as I await some bits to finish the actual bridge.



All taking shape, should get some paint on tomorrow.



Hopefully the last pieces of canal that I will make for a while
