The Trouble with Trenches

I found three really good references for building model trenches.

The first: http://www.igg.org.uk/gansg/00-wargame/trench.htm

This is perhaps a bit too elaborate for 15mm, but I might do something with it one day for my 1/72^nd scale WW2 miniatures.

The second: http://www.instructables.com/id/WWI-Trench-Model/

Inspiring, but more suitable for a diorama.

The third: http://balagan.info/making-wargaming-terrain-bunkers-and-trenches

Way to go!  Earth banks cut from a strip of timber framing, suitably painted and flocked should get us by.  I might try and do some “dug-in” infantry as special bases, if I ever come across a supply of cheap heads etc.

Not exactly a trench, but a very nice model indeed is this from Thanos: http://miniaturesterrainpage.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/machine-gun-nest.html
