I'll be following this with interest.

I'm planning to do a very-late-war table for Flames of War at some point in the future, depicting a ruined Berlin with one of the Flak Towers as a centrepiece. But yours is on a quite different scale...

 

[spud]

oh thwould be epic but if you were to do it in 1:72 scal teh flak tower would be at least 21+ inches that a monster and it would be twice that in with. but if you are brave enough to try it ild love to see the result.

Since it's for Flames of War it'll be in 1:100 scale. Even so, a Flak Tower would be a massive building with a footprint of around 50 cm. square - depending on the type.

But that's all in the future. Right now I'm working on an early war French Countryside table centred on the Gros Ouvrage de Fermont.

wow thats a small scale. and i taught 1:72 was small. it will still be interesting to see once start it

Yeah, it can be quite a challenge to work with such a small scale. On the other hand, you don’t need to worry as much about details as they can’t be seen at that scale.

I could post some pictures of my current board if there’s any interest in it...

 

[spud]

you'll never know until you post them
