Hi guys
Thanks for the comments.
if anybody is wondering about the sandbags, they are the zig-zag trench section from Model Cellar: They are really good, the ends are not cut square, but are jagged so that different shapes can be linked together to create a longer length or any shape you want. Here is a photo off their website:

Unfortunately I do not know of any UK supplier which is a shame - the stuff is reasonably priced.
the rest of the base is plywood covered with burr walnut veneer. Usually I just paint the ends black, but in this case I opted for the veneer so the endges had a pattern.

the one furtherst to the left is not good, the pose does not look right , and his back needs to be pushed right abainst the sandbags, so he will come off, and a lot more conversion work will be needed.
I'm not in the mood for converting 1/35 figures so back on shelf this one goes for a little while. Meanwhile here is a photo of a tweet which amused me:

I think the dio is looking good Peter. Will definitely look better when the third figure is sorted out. Lots of drama for five items including the tank. In those days the infantry could outpace the tanks but I can imagine seeing something they have never seen before lumbering towards them with no place to run but left or right slowed down by mud.
"Substitute ingredients..." yeh right :smiling5:
