Albanich 2018 the preparation begins

We are putting on another game this year at Albanich 2018. A small and friendly show held in Dumfries on Saturday 10th March. Joining up with Steve we are putting on a Barbarossa game with plenty of iconic Russian and German forces on the battlefield. I have pretty much worked up the scenario and now have a list of things I need to finish off for the game. What that means is I have a bit of motivation to get some stuff done.

First up then.....the second part of my German transport.
Two Opel Blitz
As usual I have kept them simple for gaming and storage, they are Rubicon models easy to put together when I realised I wasn’t using enough glue ! And very easy to paint.

    Nice trucks, I have heard stories of the Rubicon stuff being difficult to glue.

      Something about the plastic , it is slightly harder and doesn’t melt as much so I thought I had fixed them and th back fell apart !

    Top stuff. Not working that show - Jim and Stu have those duties - so if you two need a hand and I can be a help guarding the table while you take a break or go for lunch, let me know and I'll see about getting a lift on the van.

      You're welcome. I hope you all have a good day with the game - if I do come over, after hitching a ride, I'll pop over to say hello.

      Thanks Iain.....yes plenty of glue I had expected it to ‘melt’ but the plastic is harder than I expected. Oddly this didn’t effect the 251’s so it may just be my poor technique 😢
