Tower

  Eiffel Tower

 A couple years ago I purchased this lawn model of the Eiffel Tower at my local Osh store.

The real tower is over 1,000 feet tall and so in 1/72nd scale would be taller than my house.

 A few Ykreol French Commanders inspect the tower.

While this tower is only about 5 feet tall, I think it works very well for wargame purposes.

It is not an exact replica, of course, but good enough, in my opinion.

What's On Mike's Workbench?

At the end of a long building cycle I have a two square inch space to work.  Pink top food containers are used for my Comic book and Super Hero figures.

I did roll out some sky pattern wall paper to use as a background for an upcoming photo shoot.

I print out comic book covers as a painting guide for comic book characters.

Storage boxes for spare parts and resin parts waiting for use.  Flags printed out for a project are standing by, Wikipedia is a good place to find flags.

A castle I got at the swap meet recently, it needs work.

Little white boxes from Dollar Tree, hold T6 tank parts.  Hogwarts from Harry Potter castle.

Baron Zemo and his staff ready for painting.

Time soon to resin cast more T6 tanks.

Tenting Tonight

I got a few Sibley Tents a while back and decided it was time to paint them up.

The US Army used them from about the Civil War until at least World War One and probably early WWII also.

In 1940 the US Army was expanding so fast they could not build barracks quickly enough to house everyone.

Troops often had to wear WWI era uniforms.

The Army tried to use tents in the South were it was warmer and usually did not snow.

Tim Mee Air Force

Each man doing his duty to keep our nation free from the Red Menace and the Yellow Peril. 

A modern Air Force requires many men for the system to operate.

Many of the large jets have a crew of over ten men.

With four engine pods the B-52 requires a large ground crew at take off.

These jet pilots look like deep sea divers in their hard hats!
