Some French Style buildings ....
Needed to add a bit of French style housing stock, I've had a look at the Amourfast farmhouse
I bought two, easy to assemble (reasonably priced). The plastic is a bit thin, but when built it holds together well - extra internal bracing for robustness could be added, but otherwise fine. They also have possibilities for kit-bashing.Although 1/72, it is a good size and looks OK with a 25/28mm figure; since they be used with 1/72 (20mm) figs as well then they'll do.
I have a couple of Valiant 1/72 houses on order to see how they'll size up. I have been ogling some 3D printed items too.

Frenc Policeman conversion...
Looking at figures already completed for games, I was missing a French Policeman. I had spare 28mm foreign legion officer, so after some fettling and the use of green stuff - Voila ! un gendarme portant une cape..
a few fluffs in the sculpt to fix and then I'll get him painted...

Airfield - hard standing area...
Things are going slowly on the french resistance game plans, however I've been looking at improving the concrete hard standing areas for airfields. I found a nice image online with some texture, one of the images from the following https://spaces.hightail.com/space/7UNLYEEs21. I printed out a few pages and stuck them onto my existing my existing hard-standing board (small MDF sheet)
and also made some smaller sections than can double as a taxi wayif I need more for a game scenario, I can easily make some up
