Total of 31 planes and 8 tanks in 6mm

12 Novus Designs buildings in 6mm. I did a lot of work with filler and the dremel to make these look less cookie cutter.

Getting some 15mm scenery done for the Ukraine. I couldn't find any decent shabby rural fences so decided to make my own.

56 inches worth of fencing. I reckoned about 15 post per inch so that works out to around 840 plus tiny little plastic boards. I can see why this is not something a sane person would contemplate No idea how to score this labour!

4) BF110s Zg26 for No Africa
