15mm Normandy Village

More photographs of my 15mm Normandy Village for Flames of War.

You can imagine that this would be the view from the gun camera of an RAF ground attack Typhoon attempting to flush out some entrenched Germans. You can see I have used the outbuildings to complement the Flames of War Normandy houses.

Here is an overhead view of the buildings.

As well as Battlefront roads and houses, I also have in there some of the nice 4Ground laser etched wooden buildings.

15mm Normandy Village

I am quite pleased now with how much scenery I have now for 15mm Flames of War games.

As well as Battlefront roads and houses, I also have some nice 4Ground laser etched wooden buildings.

There are also K&M trees that are now quite old, but have stood the test of time, I think they must be nearly twenty tears old!

In addition and not shown in these pictures, mainly as they are not finished, are some Total Battle Miniatures 15mm ruins.

I look though at my grass tiles and think they are a little too bright, they might need some work in the future.

54mm D-Day

The final set of photographs of the evocative 54mm scale D-Day model at the Nothe Fort in Weymouth.

Landing Craft at D-Day

In the depths of the Nothe Fort in Weymouth (as well as a civillian nuclear bunker (now abandoned)) there is a really beautiful 54mm scale model of the D-Day landings. Lots of different models in there including an Horsa glider.

Landing...

It is a representative model and does not reflect an actual beachhead.

Normandy

This World War Two Normandy game was a demonstration game at a games show in the 1990s.

Looking back at my old photographs, I wish I had made a few notes as I now have no idea about the game, the background or even which show this was…

Back then I was using film and I would take only a few shots at a show. These days with digital I might take two or three hundred!
