Here's what I came up with complete with Russians!
- Lid of a Ferrero Rocher Chocolates box
- MDF sheet
- Styrene sheet
- Matchsticks
- Flocking stuff
- Glues and paint
So I cut my trench design into the clear plastic chocolate box lid and glued it to an MDF base. Then I cut some styrene sheet to create the interior wood lining (it was scored and lightly sanded to create planks and wood grain) and where the styrene sheets met I glued matchsticks to represent the plank supports...
Once the glue was dry I applied paint and some basing materials and all done...
So the lesson here is chocolates with the right shaped box top are must after diner treats! 😉
Next Time - some new MDF buildings or the scenario details with OOBs for 'The Big Gun' scenario!
What a great job, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!

DeleteVery clever Sir - well done to that Officer of Engineers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul!
DeleteGood to see you visiting...
Yes, very clever indeed! Fantastic use of regular household items for wargaming terrain. That's why I tell Mrs G she can't throw out that bin O bits in the garage as someday they will be turned into various terrain pieces.

Cheers JB!
DeleteYes i too have a 'box of bits' in the shed you just never know when that odd shaped item in there could be useful for war gaming!
