Just a quick update.
I have just returned from a week in UK and while
there managed to get to the storage (Covid was asked not to attend)
I managed to pick up my figures for the Sword Beach Build.
so next week or so I will go through the figures and Vehicles to see what I need to fix/re paint/ re base (they were left in an unheated shec and then an ISO Container so all the bases seem to be leaching a salt type crust (will need to investigate further) but these are the MDF bases.
ill soon hopefully be getting internet in my place here in Germany so the blog hopefully will be up and running again within 4 weeks.

I have an eclectic mix on my blog, and will have again as I go forward.
I have rescued the whole of my D-Day project from UK, and other 10mm WW2 armies. BKC
I have started a 6mm Star Wars army for use with FWC
I have rescued most of my 6mm CWC army's (Lost a bit of the Soviet Tank Division, But it will be re-formed reserves are coming in from Depots in the East)
I also managed to rescue most of my 20mm Cold War, 20mm WW2, and 20mm Afghan.
15mm 1982 Lebanon figures and vehicles. 10mm LOTR Armies.
these will all go on the blog over the next few weeks.
each army will be posted with thoughts on moving it forward.

If it's post the first five minutes then there's plenty of more or less ruined MDF building options from many places - or even vac formed plastic from Amera!

https://www.matakishi.net/afghan-buildings.html. Scale his ideas/plans by 40% for 10mm, and use cereal card instead of cork.

(I went mad about 3 years ago and made ~20 of the things in about a week, but now they lie in a shoebox still unpainted :(. Very easy to make though.)

thank you Raider.
his site is my goto for terrain inspiration.
my Afghanistan is 6mm not 10mm but thank you anyway.
Regards
Sean.
