Thanks for your comments guys,i have to say after discovering this site i was impressed by the WW1 section best ive seen so far , loads of advice and discussion,i know it goes back a couple of years but ive only just gotten into WW1 in the last six months.
I can post my build pics ,do i just throw them all in one thread for you to inspect?

Oh and on this ocassion Bezzo everything on the table was made or painted by me 8) but Spike is a very acomplished modeller so hopefully i can show is work off another time as part of our games ;)

Cheers AL

It is something to strife for, to make a gaming table with this kind of "feel" to it. Well done.

I think the most impressive part is that, in fact, it isn't a table as such... but elements with dirt added! Very very cohesive feel for such an undertaking.
