    Great work again Mark. I really like the gun barrels which make them look like they have been in the field.

      Thanks Lawrence. I always weather the gun barrels with a couple of washes - usually one of Aly's Brown Liquid then one of Nuln Oil.

    Nice one Mark…
    As it was so secret I hope you built it without instructions… you wouldn’t want the Prussians or anyone else finding out how it works…

    All the best. Aly

      I did have instructions, but I ate them afterwards...quite tasty with a bit of Tabasco sauce. I also made sure that the assembly area was out of line of sight of the various trays of Prussians.
