The Day went Well after the Eagle Landed?

With final sepia wash it is finished.

I need to put some buildings together to create Keelsreach. I bought one of these from Warbases. This is my test piece. I will need three more

I sealed in the MDF with watered down PVA and painted the exterior wall with a sandy coloured acrylic paint.

I’m not doing any kind of detailed interior so painted it a solid grey.

To add a little detail to the exterior walls I used some grey, brown and white to pick out some of the individual stones.

The roof was painted the same grey as the interior

Doors and window frames painted green.

These are the Villagers of Keelsreach. Situated on the East Coast of England. One road in one road out.

I’ve used a mix of different sprues I had laying around. There is Warlord Commonwealth. These are the guys in shorts. I’m thinking these might be the local scouts that have volunteered. It is mainly the old Warlord British infantry stuff.

I wanted to try something different and slap chop with a grey primer. Will I do it again? Probably not.

The Eagle has Landed. I slap chop everything these days but I’ve never done WW2 before. The minis are Warlord.

My usual drybrush of an off white followed by full white.

With some intrepidation I wondered if I could do a denison smock. I mixed alot of different speedpaints together to get an alright result. They look a bit rough in the picture but fine at tabletop level. I’ve not decided on how to base them yet.

What are my plans?

I think I need four forces

• German Paratroopers posing as Polish Paratroopers
• Villagers
• Local Defence Volunteers
• Americans

Possibly a fifth being regular British infantry.

Scenery

I’ve got a lot of hedges, trees (mainly pine so will need some more) and hills and some fencing but want to create several areas of a rural English village.

• Cottages
• Pub
• Post Office
• Church
• Watermill or Windmill
• Country House
• Duck Pond

Additional Extras

• Telephone Box
• Cars
• Tractor
• Bicycles
• Animals
• Maybe an escape boat

I also need to work out how to get a spy involved
