"The Clearing" the Ardennes 44

As promised earlier, the final result of the Ardennes dio ”The Clearing”. I apologize for the bad lighting on the pics, but this is the best I can do at the moment.

Monte Cassino Dio - Buildings & figures

At the moment I’m working on the building for the Monte Cassino dio. I’ve spent a few days doing the rough outlay of the dio in foam board. I still need to do the arches, roof, and columns.

The pictures show a bit of the detail work on the on the walls and tile floors. The cork bricks will be applied to all walls. The gaps will be filled with plaster, representing the mortar.

All the tile floors are plaster casts, into which I carved the individual floor tiles.

I’ve done some of the initial work on the Fallshirmjäger figures. These are from Dragon’s “Monte Cassino Defenders” kit. I made a few improvements on the bread sac, adding new “Green Stuff” straps and filled out the gaps between the sac and the figure to make it look more realistic.
