Very nice  Coming together strong.

I like the fact you've gone for chalk rather than normal soil, there's enty of opportunity for some great weathering to go on there 

cheers

Mate, they look fantastic.   Definitely up for a game or several once their done.  Oh and its a yes from me regarding the terrain building day.

[Captain Blood]

Superb.

[Andym]

Great! Looking forward to seeing these finished!

[Iron Haiden]

Looking awesome Lev

I think it is time you put on a demo game at NWS soon with these.

Cheers

thanks everyone for the feedback

yes, I reckon their first outing will be in 2 weeks to trial the new trench raiding rules from the Over the Top rules (anyone been keen enough to try them yet?)

At the moment I'm flocking, adding mud and liquid water which is all a bit messy but will get some pics done when I've washed up!

In the meantime, here's one of the damaged trench section...how many casualties can you spot?

[OSHIROmodels]

I count 8/9 

cheers

4!

Anyway, got some pics done at an almost finished stage for the second line trenches. The flock suddenly transforms them, and the coolour really throws the bleakness of the trenches into stark relief.Still working a little on the transition between the chalk and grass as it is a little abrupt, but I wanted these to look more like reasonably old, static trench lines rather than new ones. It also help them marry up with my first boards better.











Hopefully get a shot of the whole lot together soon.

Tinkering with static water as well right now.

[Sangennaru]

that's great!

but i really suggest you to add some powder pigments as dust, it will help to make everyyhing more smooth and monochromatic... and the bomb explosion will bring a lot of dust all around here! =)

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

4!

Well, you have some very human looking ground work 

I'd go with what Sangennaru says about the powders, failing that, a light drybrush of your top ground work colour over the grass would help.

cheers

[janner]

given the colour of chalk dust you might tray army painter snow?

[thejammedgatling]

good ideas

I think I will give pigments a try...but have never used before. Any tricks? Do you apply wet as a drybrush method?

Advice please!

[Slayer]

sorry to revive a old thread, but any more news on these boards??

[Metternich]

Excellent.  I particularly like the wickerwork hurdles holding up the trench walls; a nice detail.

[gbulens]

WOW!

Very very nice and very inspirational!

Got to get me started now!
