New here. Decided to share my last little project I completed a few weeks ago. I have been on a 1/72 scale kick lately. This is my depiction of the German vanguard as they approached the coast of NW France, one day before they closed the ring around the BEF and French forces which resulted in the allies evacuation at Dunkirk. The 38t panzer is a Fujimi kit I probably bought 20 years ago! I love those 1/76 Fujimi kits. I still have quite a few. I think they are out of production? The infantry are Pegasus. I tried to do my research but I am not sure I got the uniform colors right for 1940 France. Any opinions welcome. The base is foam board and creative paperclay. I think the clay is great stuff. I really like it. No cracking and it air dries. Sign post is scratch built and I used Word with a 2.5 font, I think, for the lettering. Hope to post more stuff soon. I really enjoy seeing all the neat models and different subjects in these forums. Cheers, Rob
