Hello again, I bring you a video of how I made some earthen trenches inspired by the Cuban War, with simply some trenches dug with barbed wire to protect. I hope you like it. Greetings to all!

Nicely done.
They are wide enough on the base that they do not look so obviously "above ground" even though they are. The lack of depth below the table surface is the failing of most trench scenery.

Indeed, very nicely done, the gentle slope does provide the illusion of depth.
there are only two things I would suggest to improve it.
- Using some sand to make the earth sections look a bit more like spoil rather than spackle.
Placing the wire fence further from the trench.
Unless the Spanish army was particularly daft I'm sure they would have followed the standard military approach that linear obstacles like wire need to be well in front of your positions. In this case, whilst they might slow or impede someone entering the trench they won't protect the blokes in from being shot at by chaps at the fence itself. The modern injunction is that it is always beyond grenade range.

Thank you very much to all for your comments!!
and I write those improvements for the future, thank you very much!
