Standard User Posts: 1 jbmudshark 28th Oct 2015 03:17:27 Excellent PT, I love how you made the trenches below ground level. I've seen too many model trenches that are entirely above ground level. |

Standard User Posts: 47 Spangenhelm 29th Oct 2015 01:49:02 That tutorial and the finished product are quite inspirational. I heartily agree with jbmudshark, the above ground trench systems just kill the period look for me. They resemble 40K more than Flanders' fields. Splendid work there. |

Standard User Posts: 183 pushing.tin 30th Oct 2015 09:36:29 Thanks for the complements everyone. TI think it shows up another advantage of 6mm, as I can't imagine it would be so easy to get the same effect with larger figures. If anyone fancies having a go themselves I have now put up the templates online here http://pushingtinwargames.blogspot.co.uk/p/ww1-trench-patterns.html |
