Carentan Modeling Guide and Historical Resource

From Matakishi’s Tea House comes a guide to modeling the French village of Carentan. From the author:

Carentan details the building of the Second World War French town featured in Band of Brothers for wargaming in 28mm.  It contains detailed build notes and many full colour photographs of the process. There is also a section explaining the quest to match the known historical facts with the reality of Carentan today including both period and modern photographs and an analysis of the fighting at the time.

Carentan is a riveting tale of historical research and a valuable modelling resource offered free by Matakishi’s Tea House.

Dark Future gaming has a post on using bits of foam to weather a 40K vehicle. The technique could be applied to almost anything, though.
