discussion Somme Trenches in 1:285 scale

[Andy Belsey]

Time is rather short presently so I haven't been able to post much, but here are a few photos of my trench model.
It has an acrylic lid with labels explaining what is underneath. It's all scratchbuilt except for the figures which are made by GHQ (really WW2).

Totally captivating. How long did it take to build ?

Several years of lunchtimes. I make architectural models for a living and get my hobby work out during the mid-day break. (Sad I know, but I enjoy historical models and it is different from the day job!)
