1. How about Jan do all the work by himself :mrgreen:

2. Can I make something from the future? Like post apocalyptic scene from the future? Or even better, something like "I am legend" movie scenario?

:neutral: Dunno. I haven't the slightest clue what I could contribute to this project.
Prussian infantry has been taken, I have no modern infantry, nor do I have anything Dutch of what sort of period ever.

Are buildings/walls allowed? Sidewalks? Or it should be road in the countryside?
Sorry for asking, I've never been to Arnhem so I don't know how road to Arnhem looks like :D

I am in as well. I will try and manage one vignette from Togo: Romani ad imperii limen. A big thanks to Jan for help me out with this brilliant idea :yeah:

Miniatures are ordered and on their way to Turin (I'll pick'em up during Easter).

Full of potholes, trees and bushes covering the verges and the road signs written in a bizzarre hardly understandable language
The famous Bridge is in the back of the Picture :mrgreen:

You can have a look into the description. Buildings would be great. You can add the beside the 10 cm road for example.

20th Century cyclists and civilians? I've been well out of my Napoleonic comfort zone with these ones - and it probably shows. :sweatdrop: Still got a few touches to go and the rifles to paint and glue on.

Here's the Dutch Infantry cyclists:

And here are a couple of civilians walking past:
Image

But what's this? One of our infantrymen has dismounted and is pushing his bike to the side of the road. Something has caught his eye...
Image

Of course - it's the pretty lady we saw earlier!
Image

Image

As you can see - the civilians are just a little smaller perhaps than the cyclists though they should be the same scale. Are they okay together, do we think, in order to use this idea?

And Jan - Please would you be able to build the 1940 road if I send you the figures? :winky: :notworthy:
