Have a word with Simon,
There's also Wire! This is just a test as production wire is on a resin base three fences deep and 20cm long.After play testing with longer lengths I found that to be the most useful size.
I hope this posts okay as I added two other pictures(Phil's luck rubbed off) and its posted as two topic's instead of one.

They are ment for 28mm,That said some barbed wire samples were given to gamers at North Hull Wargamers Club. and they use it for 20mm and 15mm (some sort of Si-fi if I remember rightly)

Can figures based on 30mm round bases fit in the trench works?

In the slit trenches/fire pits,bunker,etc yes.The conecting trenches(I'd call it a comm's trench but there made to be used in there own right as well) I'll say no for now as without checking how the detail would restrict base movement .You couldn't push a 30mm base along the inside,without getting stuck on the uprights.As for the Fwd.O.P/C.P. No, its designed for 25mm base widths with roughly a 3mm gap.
I've tried to give a 30mm plus gap in each feature how ever this one just look wrong with that bigger gap.It my sound odd but its how it works best.

Lovely stuff - in the first gun position, are the bits on the front representing spent casings or those camo-nets which used large strips of canvas?

Its burlap garnish on netting.here' s a concept net on the AA lorry from the 1st Corps range.The netting isn't as well defined as on the bunker and over head net.But I think you'll get an idea of what it will look like painted.

have a word with Simon at 1st Corps it might be possible to have some early as your putting on a display game,also ask about the barbed wire sets very easy to build and very easy to use.And don't look like old springs.
