Warning, lots of large pictures. Just click on
a picture to enlarge.
Just wanted to show you how I have been getting
on with my continuing Normandy boards. Still a long way
to go but all 3 boards are coming along nicely. As you
can see from the pictures the 3 additional boards
allow me to crawl out of the Normandy bocage and right
into the local village for a bit of street fighting.
The name of the church and village are fictional so
don’t bother looking for it lol
The buildings are all mixed manufacturers and the centre
piece church is a Loic Neveu masterpiece. If you really
need to know who makes any particular building just contact
me for the details.

As mentioned in previous posts I have been using Google Maps
to get inspiration and ideas from,especially the church. Most
French villages have a church surrounded by a circular wall and
often sit right in the middle of the village with a road curving
around the church. There is often a war memorial right next to
the church as well.
A few bits of info on the church. The gates to L`eglise Saint Andre
are scratch built and the stained glass windows are a combination of
free hand painting and see through plastic. The roof is removable
so you can fill the church with soldiers to your hearts content.
All buildings on the boards are removable except the walls which are fixed
in position. Also to help with storage the telegraph poles are fixed to the
board with magnets so easily moved.
Lots more to do especially at the more built up end of the village but
light is shining from the end of the tunnel.
If your wondering that’s a Panzer Lehr Division rolling through 🙂
