Boley construction equipment with Dapol construction workers demolish a damaged building.

Clearing debris is an important military function. Clear fields of fire, clear roads for re-supply, clear paths to advance against the enemy are all important.

My plan is to have several large cranes as part of my WWII US Army Engineer troops. I wanted to have both concrete breakers and cranes with a bucket, but somehow ended up with just concrete breakers. Rather than order more bucket cranes, I just made some concrete breakers into bucket cranes.

Good for digging ditches for fuel pipelines, or communications wire, or even as trenches these are handy vehicles to have around. Of course, in real life the crane would likely have a selection of buckets, and breakers to select from depending on the mission. Not always the case in the model world.

The Boley crane needed some work and a paint job to be the Army crane I wanted. So I chopped up the concrete breaker and made it into a bucket crane.

Then it was time for the Army Green spray paint. No primer for this because it's Rust-Oleum 2X which is paint and primer together. It's also a very dark color which covers very well.

I set up the nearly completed Kiss Kiss Club in 1/72nd scale, based on the James Bond movie Thunderball.

There are a few pieces of set dressing yet, and a few more figures necessary but it's almost there. And it all seems to fit together well. The palm trees are inserted into slots so they can be removed for easy of play or for storage in a shorter box.

Modern warfare often takes place in cities. And that means I need high rise buildings in my cities. Making a building exterior is not that difficult, but how do you make the inside of a 40 story building in 1/72nd scale?

So the first thing is don't try and make a 40 story building. Just make those floors that are relevant. First floor, top floor and a few in the middle.

He's how I am experimenting on the problem.

Two more projects getting a little progress made. One a couple Honest John rockets have been repainted and made a little nicer, and the second a few grounded parachutes that are finally getting painted after 20+ years! They look much better painted. The Honest John rockets look much better in red and white instead of orange and white.

Over the last year I have been trying to tidy up a few projects that have been languishing and these are a couple of them. I have several other large projects like the Kiss Kiss Club that are also moving forward, including a secret project that is pretty large.
