| Italeri 1/72 scale Le Haye Sainte |
Intro
This comes in three separate boxes - the Farm House / Outer Walls, the Stables, and finally the Barn.
The build took about 4-5 hours over the coarse of a Saturday. As the walls were somewhat thinner than my usual foam-core creations I decided to reinforce a number of the joints
The doors and windows are made from card and supplied in strips - I glued them on before assembly
The completed model
The whole model covers an area about 2 foot square, so a decent sized centre piece for a game. As the major components are separate the Barn and Farm House could be used separately, as could the Buttery. Although 1/72 it will work fine for my 28mm figures

ReplyDeleteJust spotted this - I used superglue, the runny-type not the gel one. I'd previously been warned that wood glue / PVA has too much water in and this gets absorbed causing warping in the joints
