The top row of sand bags are green stuff and the rest are carved out of the insulation board that I used for the bases, similar method to what others have been doing making buildings

Great job for the Great War.

Amazing- beautifully painted and the bases are superb.
I particularly love the mortar scene - great attention to detail.

Lovely painting, the collection must be quite large by now.  Are the bases interchangeable plugs that fit into your terrain?

Love the burlap helmet cover but please explain the grey painted helmet... one would think a grey helmet might be mistaken for german and attract fire?
