Thanks Paul and Ian. Had trouble thinking this one through, then realized, the rubble is the star. Where better than Stalingrad at the start of autumn 1942. The Jerry’s are still on the offensive. Got the base done. Once dried I shall add the rubble. Couple of injured guys for atmosphere. The bunker is still there, now with a tarpaulin door.

Started to get some rubble down. Used VMS sand and ballast freeze for the grit and watered down scenic glue for the rubble. Will see how it dries before doing the rest.

This one kept going under my radar you little rascal. I like the idea of a pile of bricks, dust and dirt. Tommy you can add pipes, cabling and stuff to make it look even more realistic. Redzebra did a great job on the rubble! In your hands it will become awesome.
