For a few of your English pounds, you get a nice selection of Luftwaffe officers and men in useful poses - you even get a dog! So using a 10" by 8" picture frame, railway ballast and assorted static grass, I go to to work.
The whole thing rests on regular plaster filler from a local DIY store. While it was drying I carved out some rough planks and added the ballast. The idea was for a small revetment which the Luftwaffe were forced to use during this period of war. With everything painted and grassed up, I felt the scene was still lacking something. A search through assorted stashes revealed some Verlinden late war signs and a length of chain. Check the photos, you can see where it all went.
I think today, more and more, just completing the model isn't always enough. The resources are there to enable the modeller to go a step further and really make the most of his (or her) creation.
