Can I ask where or who makes the roads?, lovely work also by the way :-) |

I made the roads. I used some A4 styrene sheets with cobbles on from Antenocitis Workshop, cut strips and glued on to 2mm thick black plasticard. Some woodflex filler on the sides, glue on sand then painted and flocked. These are the styrene sheets link The strips I cut are 25mm wide and the plasticard is cut into 45mm wide strips. Each road section is 30cm long. I have done a crossroads (see my post on Quatre Bras farm on the blog) and will do other junctions as I need them for games The cobbles come coloured but not enough to use as it. I wash them with Games Workshop Agrax Earthshade, then dry brush with Vallejo neutral grey, light grey and German cammo beige until I am happy (and make it patchy rather than even across the whole road). Dark grey for the end of the cut foam pieces hope this helps Steve |

Did the British use the white star as a recognision sign also? I hadn't realised that… |

During Normandy they did. I don't think it was 100% consistent though. The Canadians liked to set their stars askew to set themselves apart from the Americans. |

yes, having looked at photos as well as painted models it seemed quite common but then not all vehicles used them. On the back of tanks for recognition from the air seemed fairly usual rather than stars elsewhere on tanks PS, coastal2, just worked out your comment. Slip of the mouse when trying to select WW2 discussion from the drop down list and selected WW2 Naval discussion instead! |
