Chavdar,Shawn,Boris and Tim!!!

  Thanks guys for chiming in with the kind words. Those names together reminds me of a law firm.

Here is a set I forgot I had. I think I can make use of some stuff here. The gears are turning

Here are numbers 36 and 37 for the scene. Stalingrad and excellent after a bit of clean up. All I changed was angling the boys' head down for a little timidity/scolded look.

Thanks Shawn and Harv !

  Decided I needed a horse and cart so....

 

  Got an old Tamiya horse and historex head plus wheels from a new MB kit

Melded the head and body plus built an axle

Next up is filling her up with the sad detritus of a family in flight and making the harnesss

.

 

 Not as awesome as the 1/18 spitfire but someone may find it useful. Scratchbuilding doesn't have to be monstrously hard.

After looking at the horse again with a critical eye it made me realize the head was overly large. So...off with its' head !  A resin copy of  a Italerei horses' head was found and so replaced the first one.   I promise the first head didn't end up in a movie producers' bed !

  I also decided to show said horse during a pit stop,getting some water from its' concerned family. Most rural folk really depended on their animals a lot in those days and I figured this would be no exception. So you have to take care of the livestock !

  Opah is looking for his pipe "baccee" refill and the goat will provide some sustenance along the way(if it lasts that long)!
