Singling

The town is really coming together. I took pictures over the weekend but always have issues with things in the background of my images that make them look bad. I started to mess about with some photo editing tools and produced this.

Definitely better than the shelves and other stuff in the background. This is a view of the school house and building 28 on the right and buildings 8 and 9 on the right. I will add some additional snow to this and see how hard it will be to clean up. Not sure if it will stay on the rooftops. That is left to be seen.

Terrain Complete for Singling

I managed to complete building 12 over the weekend. This is a damaged row house that US troops occupied the attic of and used the holes in the roof to shoot a bazooka down onto the German Armor in the street below. I went with one of the color schemes mentioned for the town with a tile roof. The visible roof frames are cut up sprues from the other MDF pieces of the model. I am not entirely happy with it but it works.

I have the table now set to get some playtesting in on the scenario for the center of the town. I am getting really close to being done with this. Here is an image of the central portion of the table. Visible are buildings 8, 9 and 10. Also the large pile of horse dung in the center of the courtyard. Also visible are the school and building 28 in the upper right hand corner. The courtyard to the left is where there American tanks were located and exchaned shots with German Jadgpanzer IVs after destroying part of the wall. It is not very clear in the image, but there is an elevation change running behing the school across the top portion of the map. Building 28 is on the upper level of this.

Anyway, this is a very promising start. I need to figure out a way to take better pictures and have a backdrop from which to place behind it so my shelves and other hobby stuff is not seen,
