The long anticipated {by me anyway} WW1 dio. Will take my time and enjoy this one, heavy use of Styrofoam in this one, a first for me. Height and depth will be highlighted with trench and shell craters. Using two sets of figures- British and German, this will be a battle scene. Plenty of stakes and wire and playduogh sand bags and the like.


A real wicked mess! Studying WW1 trench photos so plenty of duckboards and timbers about, Oh! and don't forget a major helping of GRIMops:........Say tuned.....Jim

You're a clever one Jim, using bowls and a cop for the basis of shell holes. Nice Idea!

These are the figures I am using, don't exactly know how they will be positioned yet, but it will be dramatic as possible, plus you know I will be searching the junk boxes for some poor unfortunate "casualties"ops:...........Jim

You can build a deeper trench for the English figures. The others just around the tanks.


Or just build a little scene with a trench, only with figures...without tanks!

Was kinda thinking about having mk4 knocked out just before crashing in or mired in shell hole and having Brits assaulting , Germans defending o_O.........Jim

Thanks for your attention Richard, tanks can be seen up close in 'completed armored vehicles' forum under "Mum" and "Whippet good" 3rd page in I believe.................Jim,
