W.I.P. - Some plastic and some toothpicks


Hi everyone,

Hope you are all well. This is a W.I.P post, at least in terms of the materials that I am going to use as will see in the photos below. I’ve done some progress last night, but they are not yet finished.

I had an idea stuck in my mind and due to that (you can’t say No to the Muse – Homer knows it better), I took  some plastic figures from Hat’s British Mortar teams (#8227) and some figures from Airfix’s WW2British Infantry (#1763) (unfortunately they are not included in the photos below – I decided to add them in the last minute, after taking the photos) – all prone figures. They needed something to play with,  and for this reason I came to think that I needed  something round and long (and no, it wasn’t what just crossed your filthy minds…), so I ended up with some wooden toothpicks. They are a bit wider in width compared to what I had in mind, but, you gotta use what’s available at the time. :-)





So, by looking at the photos above, what do you think I am going to make?? Any ideas?

Have a good night boys and girls.
T.

    Maybe some kind of training camp or barracks. The toothpicks are used like pile and some wire attached to them. The plastic figures will look like crowing under the wire. Am I right?

    Are you making mortars? I've made mortars with toothpicks before, sometimes a fiddly task, but they should come out nicely.

    Let's see what those toothpicks shall make!
