Thank you.

Here is a view of an Heroics and Ros model in action. It is an Albatross overflying the Messines battlefield:



More details here.

Nice looking planes - the blue is particularly vibrant!

I do like the battle field too. The trench models work very well - are they some kind of plaster with the trenches and shell holes embossed in?

Great little models - can't beat those WW1 German planes for colourfulness

Nifty. I am inspired to resume painting my own 1:144 models.

Thank you. The trenches are latex all-in-one. TimeCast produces them. Highly recommended.

Even better, it's easier to spend money, than try to scratch build somethings!

Especially when you have to cover large battlefields  ;)

Such as Vimy Ridge:



or the Somme:



The latter 'table' was more than 15' long. I just don't have the time to scratch build enough trenches for these sorts of situations.

Yes, both examples were public display games. More are included on this page, plus further details about Vimy and the Somme too:

First Battle of the Marne was by far the biggest (to date ;) )
