Desert Rats update


First of the 8th Army troops finished, based in the same scheme as the Afrika Corp.

I am going to put some effort into the Airfield board next, I have been doing some research and hunting down scatter scenery I may use. The construction of the project will begin after Christmas.

Desert Rats reinforced platoon

 
This is the first of the vehicles for the the 8th army reinforced platoon, I decided on a camo scheme from the second battle of El alamian as its so iconic.Its not finished yet needs some weathering and some other small details
 
M4A1 Sherman (Blitzkrieg Miniatures)

Also hoping to add an M3 Grant this will be the camo scheme i will be using , watch this space.
