G'day all,
Firstly I do hope everyone is getting-by alright in the current COVID world and for those vets amongst us that have partaken in the 'Long War' in Afghanistan - never think that your service, regardless of the negativity that has stemmed from it and its tragic 'bug-out' finale, was in vain.
For me, it's definitely a time of reflection but that hasn't impacted on my current build which, unfortunately, is not the series I had planned concerning the Afrika Korps earlier this year (which is now on-hold 'til 2026 with next year dedicated to the Fallschirmjager, 2023 to the U.S.M.C in the Pacific and 2024 to the anniversary of D-Day - yes I'm planning years ahead). I'm still awaiting parts for the DAK and, as such, has meant that the year has gotten away from me in terms of the time required to do all the vignettes I had planned for this year's series...but that's not to say I haven't been working on something else...
Once I realised that I could not realise my DAK Plan, I switched to another rather rapidly that, given the time already spent on DAK this year, would not require too much time to assemble in its stead.
I won't give too much away save for this one pic given next month is when everything I've assembled can start being placed in the several vignettes prior to the November show (COVID pending of course) with the intent on posting completed vignettes rather than the build process. Suffice to say it's multi-national in "scope" and I've applied a "sharp eye" to the details of each and the stories behind them.
More to follow, Steve
