Hello all...
this base is finished to my satisfaction...
Here are some pics of the completed project..
and I also had some time to take a few phots using it as the 'backdrop', quickly modified in a simple 'photoshop' program...
Thanks for looking,
Bruce

Awesome Bruce! The base looks great. I like your photos showing both of the towns occupiers at one time or another during that day.

regards
Tim

Very nice base work. Completely convincing.
Don't forget the acute accent on the "a" of the speed limit sign.

Really good looking, as impressive as the old Verlinden ones.

Outstanding work Bruce! The figures aren't to shabby either! Love the close-up shot with the small rubble/debris at the GI's feet, very realistic.

Mark.

I really like how this turned out. The payoff on all that work is great!

Hey Bruce,
That base really sets the scene. The b/w image fooled me for a moment-- thought it was an historical photo! Thanks for sharing. Is there another "making of" thread that shows how you put this together? I searched but couldn't find one. I've never made a base before, but your photos inspired me to try!

Thanks, all of you...

Here is a link to the construction phase...

http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal/viewtopic.php?t=19108

Also, I found a link to an EXCELLENT 'Dick Winters' bash at OSW...
I believe this gentleman used the same 'scene' to inspire this bash...
it would really augment this base!
Sadly, there's no way to link the thread...I'll get in touch with the individual and see if I may post his pics....

Thanks again,
Bruce
