My wife got me this set for xmas this year.She had seen me eyeballing it for awhile now at are local hobby lobby. But i was always sceptical about it.because of the foliage looked like it would seperate very easily.But i used a combo of superglue,the watered down white skool glue and the alot of cheap hairspray(my go to also for a cheap sealent).Over all i was quite pleased i think that i will be buying a few more of theese setup,Also one of the kewl things that i did was trim them up and made some hedgerows too.Here is few piks of them in the building stages.

BF VS OG and PP 15mm WW2 LW Americans Engineers.
I have been getting the occasional question about how OG and BF and PP all scale up and match up. So i decieded to go ahead and post some piks of models that i wwll be using for my Ammo pioneers for my 10th mountain division.The BF Engineers are from a BF UBX19 Set. I got lucky and got it and some more models as Xmas gifts from my Wife and Family.
I am thinking of basing the plato
ons as if setting demo charges. tanks for looking.

Here is whut ive been up to this Summer.
Most of this sumer i have been building terrain out in the GArage of Doom.The first project was that completed roughly around 10 ft of Bocage.So that if i want i can fill our table for bocage battles.MAde alot more roads and Hills.
The big thing for me for awhile is how i wanted to build a Mountain table.Now that i have enough Styro foam pieces,I can build my heart out.The foam came from a disassembled restuarant walk in cooler walls.I have pieces that reso large that we a building a replica MG bunker full size and a raft in the shape of a Giant Surf Board for next year so we try some river surfing on the river across the street at the park from my house.
So here is a few piks of what the current state of the mountain terrain.So far i kinda like it. On one of the big pieces will be eventually turned into a Airfield on a small mountain top. I just need to pik up a few pieces,Quansa huts,Sweet brand Airfield strips and a watch tower,Possibily some oil tanks if i can find in scale.
So now here is my next idea for sculpting another hill. Maybe a large center piece or corner?

Peter PIg USA 50.cal team quick review.
I piked up a few packs of the 50 cal teams here recently by Peter Pig.Good deal 3 teams 5 bucks,i got 2 packs to finish off my 10th Mountain and GliderInfantry from Nuts.Overall i liked them 4 out of 5 stars for theese. nice clean sculpts and casting and made with a better metal than the Bf ones.
I would have went with BF one theese HMG but they no longer sell them in a single blister. and i already have enough 30 cals as it is.
Here is few piks to see what you get. But overall,i would buy theese again and any of the HMGs or Mortar offerings from PP,i just really like the one piece metal mortars.NO fidly bi pods.One last thing the head sculpts are not that bad for doughboys.

10th mountain piks and a few other things.
I built my Lite At guns for my10th Mountain division.I used the Tri pods from the PSC American weapons set anAT guns from the German Half Traxs.Yes, i do that they are the incorrect guns bt after you convert them it is hard to tell the diference at thisscale,especially at a distance.also i did not like the crew mix from the BF tutorial either they used a PAra spotter,A LW uniform and a Mw uniform models for it.I used the MW uniform for mine.as a matter of fact that is what i used for all of my 10th Mountain models.Now algot to do is finish them up a bit and they should be good to go,
Next thing that i have been working on for them is the 50 cal AA platoon.Since they did not use the water cooled.I am trying to rebuild my Airborne Air cooled 50s.The only bad thing is that i still have to buy the Water cooled ones for the crew.But i guess i can always ebay the Guns off or keep them for a future project.One other good thing to about the 10th Mountain is that i got all of the other models that i need to still use them as Glider rifles.what stinks is the Flimsy barrels on the AA guns.I may just go ahead and swap them out with the extra Plastic ones i have.
That is all for now TAnks for reading.
