    Trench Sections in Progress.

    The latest chapter in the Belsey/Butler partnership. Jimmy and Uncle are finally back in Blighty after a FOUR WEEK wait for the post from New Zealand that got me and my friends at church praying! Mike's painting is stunning of course. I converted the figures from the Tommy's War range and...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    I managed to get my tenth section finished yesterday. This is the tunnel and mine and I had 4 figures to paint. They started as two pairs of the same Tommy's War artillery crew. One appears in each model but both converted. I gave the guy bagging up soil a different Hornet head as he is next to...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Mike Butler has been up to his tricks again with one of my figures. He has three more. Look at this and then remind yourself that he's about 60mm long!!!! I have no idea how he manages to do what he does. All I do know is that it never looks like this, however much I try! This guy will...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Hi there. I like many I am having to self-isolate and unable to work. I have my time to work on my models, so have been dabbling when tasks around the house and garden are done. I did a little more work on the muddy footprints outside the bunker. You may notice that this model now has labels...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    My German is finally in his cold home with his Tannenbaum. Here's his back before he went in. I've continued to work on the groundwork of my bunker. Muddy footprint puddles leading in. The front with its camouflage. I've got an internal LED which will have a lamp sitting on it. While I...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Another update. My German is nearly done but still has work to be done, especially to his face. My friend Craig got some Mig mud paint so I had a fiddle with my German bunker, creating some muddy footprints. After creating 'walls' of the mud paint I filled them with coloured glaze medium. I also...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    A light dusting of snow arrived in my German trench today. Only when I put it back in its box did I notice that my backdrop has snow on it! The snow is the Deluxe Materials flakes applied onto watered-down PVA. Andy

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    I'm finally doing some figure painting again. I leave it so long, I have to relearn but I'm enjoying it. My 'Impressionist style' will never be up to the standards of my friends Mike Butler or Adrian Bay but looks good enough for the naked eye. I am against the clock at work making models...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    This is a Daily Mail postcard from WW1. This is a captured German trench, which has obviously gone through bombardment to be captured. There is plenty of vegetation around. There are plenty of other images like this that don't give us the world of grey and brown. Andy (Image for discussion...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    My daughter is a Podiatrist and uses single use equipment. Some of it has to be discarded because it comes with other equipment. These pliers are one of those things. Never used, but not sterile and have to be thrown away. She threw them my way. They have a sharp face and a flat face. I've glued...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    My grass has gone green and I've added some bits of wood and broken hurdle as camouflage. Meanwhile I've changed my gas curtain in my dugout to one described in the engineer's field manuals. (The previous one was copied from another model in IWM.) I'm happier with the new one as it's been...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Here are the two figures out of their bunker. The bunkers would be camouflaged, so I wove a hurdle from Heather twigs. I've also added a shell shattered tree. A twig with its end attacked with end cutters. I'm now adding grass made from carpet underlay. I'll add a bit more to the roof of the...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    I had some time over Christmas to work on my section models. My machine gun bunker has two figures made by Kaiser's Army. I've changed the head of the standing NCO for one made by Jon Smith Modellbau which has a helmet. He's now carrying a gasmask and gun. The seated gunner has some binoculars...

    Which model gave you most satisfaction in 2019?

    This one is the only model I've finished this year. (Life has conspired against me to do much.) This just squeaked in, in the New Year and Mike Butler had done the hard work of painting him for me. I scratch-built much of the equipment, so there is a lot of my work apart from the base. Hopefully...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Here are my rum jars which come broken and together. I have some pieces on the parapet of my wet soil section. The top part or neck is down the slope near to ratty under the German helmet. I have to full jars in the corner at the head end of my bed. Mike has the figure who will be asleep on it.

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Just a small update. I changed the vertical posts on my German trench section so that I could add cross beams. Another typical German idea. As well as holding the posts against the walls, they could be used to add camouflage of overhead cover. I raided my garden for more suitable twigs...

    Herr Mann

    Those of you who know me from old may have seen this before. It was written for a German friend of mine. and it pokes fun at all nations, but particularly our German cousins. No one gets off lightly! The author wishes to remain anonymous. Enjoy!! Andy

    Great model Scott. Hope you come back. Have you ever seen Peter Shaw's 1:12 version?!!!! You'll need more than a shed to put his one in. Andy
