BBrotherwood Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I've got my troll popped into my local model shop for the first time in a while and found out that he is still selling a lot off it at the much older (cheaper) GW prices JamesAirsofterAgent 1
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Big news!!!!! Well, yesterday I turned the shed into my diorama workshop then popped to the Range and Wickes to get my supplies and I've already planned all the trenches! I must admit lol, it is quite snug up there! Even bought a clock for £1 from the Charity shop XD!!!!
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Anything to add? Apart from more shell holes, rubble and sand (too make the un even terrain mix with water+glue) . Sorry if Up side down! Any advice appreciated! straffham 1
AirsoftTed Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Looks a good start mate! Maybe a fallen tree or two? and a few dead/cows or horses if you can get any. Maybe some MG nests at the front of the trenches?
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Alrighty, I'll probably add them along with a few other finishing touches like correlated cardboard as sheets of steel etc....
AirsoftTed Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 You can wrap wire round a pencil to make barbed wire, there's tutorials on YouTube
n1ckh Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Kitchen tissue makes good canvas when sprayed, wooden tea stirrers from McDonalds will make good duck boards (the planks they walked on) ladders can be made from cocktail sticks, sewing thread bobins can be used for barbed wire or cables wrapped around
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks both! Just stopped putting all the board tingys that are on the trench walls......hell thy are so damn fiddily! Lets just say I may have been a tad blasphemous durin the cutting process of the trench.....
AirsoftTed Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Looking foward to seeing it done mate.
TacMaster Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Got my own WW1 trench I made for a history project years ago. My grandfather is heavily into modelling (specifically in doing historically and location accurate 00 gauge train sets- he has written and published massive series of books about them too) and I got a lot of help from him. I used some old railway figurines of his and painted them khaki to look as realistic as possible. Enough waffling, here's the pics: Closeup of dugout Wire section- not completely accurate and was damaged in storage- however I think this makes it look nicely battle scarred Closeup of crater detail Edit: got some Warhammer 40K space marines incl. standard troop units, scouts, veterans and 2 tanks (Rhino and a Vindicator- the one with the Earthshaker cannon and bulldozer blade?) as well as 1 bike unit up for sale if anyone's interested?

JamesAirsofterAgent Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Update of the diorama, sorry for bad quality! Thing on the far left is supposed to be a memorial/grave prototype. Any advice is welcome!!! The duck boards take sooooo long! BBrotherwood and Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies 2
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Did anyone attend SELWG today? Just had a look on the news about it, looked great!

Supporters M_P Posted November 12, 2014 Supporters Posted November 12, 2014 Having broken my arm and thus not being able to play airsoft, playstation or anything else for a few months I've decided to give 40k another go, haven't done any for 6-7 years so I'm assuming a lot has changed so will have to read up a bit on everything before getting started again. Dug out soome of my old stuff to give me some motivation and thought I'd share, sold most of it off but have the odd thing or two left. Apologies for the terribleness of the photos but the blurriness might hide some rough edges BBrotherwood and JamesAirsofterAgent 2
