Early stages yet but I'm enjoying it so far.

Looking good so far, Roger. Very nice little scene. Are there many WW2 flats out there, I think this is the first I've seen?

Cheers Roger, some great figures there. The Ardennes 'Dezember 1944' set from that last link is particularly nice, complete with the vehicles.
Looking forward to following and watching your scene progress.

Serhan-

Thank you Serhan. I was just this minute working on this. The next photo update will hopefully show from which direction the light will be coming from.

Update time.
Creating a dirty and disheveled appearance with oils in this scale is a new experience.

 

[billyturnip]

Update.

 

[billyturnip]

I'm really enjoying this, the size and subject is allowing for some quite bold brushwork.
