Now this is right up my alley. Hope you have moment to respond to the few questions I pose.
Thank you for sharing how you feel it sized up for what it should be and for 28mm. I use 1/48 armor and many trucks are cheap russian makes in 1/43.
To my project I looked to use a few. Seeing only 50 some odd of these were used in this configuration I looked to model with and without the multi-launcher – you feel this could be magnetized easily??
For troops- HJ and Volksturm I would like to add that there is a company called offensive miniatures that have a Fall of the Reich range. These were new in January and March this year. So if you did not already know of them then I would recommend them. There is a chap on bicycle!!
For the DUST buildings. This is so after my own Heart. I also bought some of these. No complete building but enough for a few faces to some street and rest to ruins. I abandoned this idea. I play my battles for Berlin a little earlier. Jan to March 45 at Kustrin. Not so many huge buildings. An I still get Panter turm! If you would like those dust buildings let me know- they are literally gathering dust-ha!
Also, burkhardt's blog has his huge Berlin project to give you some ideas. He is a master of this art.
It is late but if interested I will check back in the morning and get some links for you.
Just share what I have learned- and consider the camo on you BW stolen.
