Many veterans said the gas mask canister was the perfect size to hold a bottle of Calvados!

I can imagine, there is always a good reason to have booze at hand :stuck_out_tongue: ā€¦ I believe the only cases the gasmask was generally put to use, was when the allies used smoke (if I may believe the first part of Blood and Steel)

Set to be another outstanding figure Jerry, but then thatā€™s what weā€™ve come to expect from you, :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:.

Wow, once again just outstanding work on your part. An addendum to the drag marks remark, though it may be a bit gory, is blood marks along the drag marks.

Dynamic as always J, if I blur my eyes just slightly Iā€™d swear those guys are actually moving. Nice gates too I donā€™t recall seeing them before (?), your own brand or off-the-shelf? :tumbler_glass:

Thanks G for the kind remarks,
J

Thanks buddy. Nice to see you took a break from mind-bending over on your epic thread.
Yes,the gates have popped up before. They began life as sticks of styrene lo now these many moons ago,

After taxing my brain and challenging my skills with the last trio I built I wanted to sooth my nerves by building something right from the box. Miniartsā€™ Engineersā€™ kit presented itself. I tweeked it a bit but no anatomical changes were made. I even used the kit helmet!
