Fantastic scenery, I adore the big building and the little touches like the graveyard, destroyed coffins that have been exposed.... Such brilliant work.

I'd just like to add in to the rest of the praise, Fantastic work! I always think its one of the hardest things to get right is the amount, and placing, of the rubble for a ruined building, but you have it spot on!! :-* :-* :-*

The whole things brill!!!

That is Milliput rolled out like a snake wet and slightly flatten the snake with soapy water ,i flatten it with a piece of mesh to start the textured finish,then cut each one with a stanley blade and drop into place ,when youve done a few once again wet and gently press the mesh again they seem to find there own saggy shape using this method.

Superb - love the ruins.

That's another project I've got to get back to at some time - more WW1 terrain. :(

Fantastic! You've convinced me to build some modular terrain now and not fixed boards. I'm amazed at how good it looks.

I've got a couple of questions for you.

What did you use for barbed wire? I was going to use Gale Force 9 but figure I'll need a lot of it!

Did you coat you trees before you painted them? I've use twigs before and ended up with borers in them. Little pile of sawdust appeared after a while.

Any other tips regarding the materials you've used would be great fully accepted.
