Vor der kaserne / "Louder, Fritz!" **FINISHED**

Any subject, any scale, just so long as it fits within the outer diameter of a CD (or DVD, or BlueRay). And some of those famous UAMF extra ninja brownie bonus points if you can match the CD/DVD with the subject of the build.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

I had been going to suggest a cd for you to use, but then I thought, "Nah! I'm having that myself!" :-D

This subject is just too damn addictive! This particular build was inspired by a song that I was going to suggest to Molly-new for his North Africa build, this has now directly led to me thinking of another one based on a movie...and one more abstractly inspired, based on the American Civil War! .....and now I'm thinking that this one could be a 'Double A-side' if I can come up with a cunning plan to do it :???:

OK, I've figured out how I'll do the 'Double A- side' dio (based on a story from a desert war documentary ) trouble is, I'll need to order another set of figures to complete it :roll: , meanwhile I'll continue scratchbuilding a 1939 Odeon portable gramophone.

A backpack from a 54mm French Rifleman becomes the bottom of the gramophone, and a bit of sprue tab edged with plasticard becomes the lid.

...and further progress with a plasticard carry handle, a stylus arm with what looks like a speaker(?) made from 54mm 1776 Grenadier bayonet and cockade from Frenchys hat. .....I also made THREE winder handles, but the Carpet Monster has feasted well today! :evil:
