Sounds like upstate NY where I went to school. Snow by Thanksgiving, thaw in April, mud> flies in summer
The 10th Mountain is based at Ft. Drum near Watertown.
Ahhhā¦ but then there is the lovely Ft Polk LA, where the mosquito is the state birdā¦ 
Yes it do get toasty up there as well.

Thankfully I never got assigned to Camp Swampy. A lot of the NCOs from my BN got sent there after Desert Storm.

Hi Jerry,
Just caught up on this one after seeing it āelsewhereā (how did that happen? Maybe thereās a magic FB portal to my corner of the UK 
)
Anyway, you already know that I love it.
Funnily enough I have been dipping back into the Duel in the Mist volumes myself - I am about to take a slow dive into the Bulge for my next dio.
Keep it up!

Thanks ol mate!
I am kicking around another segment of my Duel series. It involves building an actual vehicle though. I am always shy about that much work as it takes so long and I sometimes loose interest along the way. LOL
Hope to see you delve into the subject as well.

Cāmon Jerry, Iād love to see another Duel In The Mist vehicle dio from you. To me, knocking out a vehicle build is a lot easier than painting figures; a lot less variables and a lot less to go drastically wrong. Iāve always struggled in vain with figures.

Problem is I always dive down the rabbit hole of research and then detailing, etc. and it eats up time. Plus I hate doing roadwheels and running gear in general. But thanks for the motivation buddy.

Keeping the Duel in the Mist theme going I have broken down and relented about building a vehicle. So here I am so far. Nice kit. Very detailed. Goes together pretty well.

Is this a Marder IIIM? Whose kit is it? Good build so far!

Iām all for another of your installments be it vehicle or figure Jerry. Thanks for breaking down and doing another vehicle!
I had this kit for years but the parts count made me shy away. I discovered about 30% of the parts in the box are for other versions and arenāt needed !

Jerry, that sounds pretty typical for DML. Iāve made some that have a sprue in for one or two parts only! Makes my spares box pretty full, I can tell you. Only problem is, itās all stuff you are never going to use!

Is the choice of kit an intentional play on words - Grille in the Mist?

One could make an after the war dio of a scrap collector with a giant pile of metal awaiting the smelter ?

Maybe I should make some moulds of bits I DO need, melt down the plastic and remould it? Strictly for my own use naturally! Mind you I think a metal die is slightly above my pay grade!
