Project: Modular Trenches - Stuart - 05-06-2012 Whilst waiting for various components of the desert island board to dry I started messing about with a few other scenery bits. Something I thought might be useful was a modular trench system, so I set about constructing a proof of concept: [attachment=272] This is just a standalone piece really, but I think I've got the idea and technique nailed and should be able to adapt it into something modular and scalable. RE: Project: Modular Trenches - Simon - 06-06-2012 Looking good. Take a look at Fat Franks stuff. Fat Frank Trenches Might give you some ideas. Also have a look at the field fortifications here. Si RE: Project: Modular Trenches - Stuart - 06-06-2012 Those look ace Si - feeling proper inspired now Just trying to track down some large sheets of 2mm MDF to use for bases. RE: Project: Modular Trenches - Stuart - 07-06-2012 Making the most of a week off, and in between domestic duties, I've applied a basecoat and first drybrush to the concept. Base was some cheapo dark brown acrylic from The Works, and the first drybrush was Graveyard Earth... - sorry, "Steel Legion Drab". [attachment=275] [attachment=273] [attachment=274] RE: Project: Modular Trenches - Stuart - 07-06-2012 Another final, lighter drybrush, and some parched static grass. That's pretty much it for this initial concept I think.

[attachment=281] RE: Project: Modular Trenches - manrogue - 08-06-2012 Loving the look of these, similar to something i attempted a while ago but yours look better! What did you use for the sides? Styrofoam? RE: Project: Modular Trenches - Stuart - 08-06-2012 Cheers Vince - the banks are off-cuts of pink foam, and the wooden panels were assembled from matchsticks (bought a huge bag of them from Hobbycraft a while back). The banks and floor were then covered in ready-mixed filler, and finally coarse sand. Should've taken some earlier shots, but just started off tinkering and wasn't sure how it would turn out. RE: Project: Modular Trenches - Embolden - 14-06-2012 The results are amazing, I would love to see a board of trenches! |
