James,

use that in conjunction with the paper mache technique I showed you!
Bargain on the bunker too, you'll enjoy building it, I used to!

Ok so get the airfix ww1 trench and use the paper mâché aswell or do it the other way along with the paper mâché?lol

 
My camera is on the fritz again, but I've pulled a couple of crap shots of some of my minis from facebook.

First is a GW Skaven Doomwheel 'WIP' at this stage it just needed basing and then washes/minor highlighting etc but is basically where I wanted it:



Next up, a pair of GW Skaven Rat Ogres from their Island of Blood set once again - 'WIP' - these guys just needed basing and another wash:



Completed GW Skaven Warpfire Thrower from their Island of Blood set:



Completed GW Tyranid Tervigon - he doesn't look *quite* so rubbish in the flesh, the bulb in my display cabinet was a bit too bright when this was taken, as a result some of the more subtle work is washed out (not that I'm much good with a brush either way):



I've got a dozen or so X-Wing minis, way more Skaven, an honest-to-god f**kton of 40k models, a Dystopian Wars fleet and god knows what else kicking about that is yet to be photographed.

Soon gonna be starting a collection of WW2 battleships/carriers I think...

 
How I would make a WW1 trench:

-Draw the trench layout on a board

-Use an air drying modelling clay to layout the floor of the trench and use matchsticks for the side supports. Build up the sides with matchsticks and add any boards for walking on.

-Use polyfiller or plaster of paris to build up the trench walls by layering over the back of the match sticks

-use masking tape and scrunched up newspaper to build up the surrounding land.

-build the surface of the surrounding land up with plaster or clay.

 
Bit of a bugger but for me to start my diorama making hobby, my Mum says she wants me to buy the:

https://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/airfix-172-wwi-western-front-gift-set/

Just to make sure I enjoy it. But, my dad kinda likes Airfix so I'm hoping to get him a bit interested :D

So its a start!!

My money box named "Airsoft funds" has been changed to "Airsoft funds plus a quarter of Airfix funds" lol...

Anyone used that site??

 
Woo hoo lol, I'm so happy she got me that D-Day coastal defence aswell!!! Real bargain but sadly that shops gone now...
