Fow terrain

Whilst in the terrain making mood,thought I'd knuckle down and make the terrain needed for our groups next fow game "recon by combat" from a older issue of wargames illustrated.Not a great deal of terrain needed really,eight pieces of trench 8inches long and eight pieces of barbwire eight inches long.The rest of the terrain we need i have.First port of call was the flames of war website,as they do a box set of trenches and barbwire minefields £50.00,I think not,so i had to make my own.

The trenches started life as a lenght of wood used to frame an interior door.Cut to size,then sanded and the face was "roughed up" so the pva glue and sand would stick and hopefully stay on the surface.Next the wooden support planks on the inside of the trench were made from cutting thin plastic sheets and gluing to the surface.When the sand and planking are dry,paint the whole thing,i use water based decking or fence paint,this soaks into the sand without clogging it and making look like the somme.The planking was given a triad of foundry spear shaft a/b/c .When the whole thing was dry,i drybrushed using folkart sand colour,bit of grass done.
