How to make: WW1 Trenches

Greetings everyone!

Hope you are all well.
In my previous post, I mentioned that I was preparing some terrain for our wargames club, based on some WW1 Scenarios we are interested to play.

I have managed to prepare some trenches, based on some photos I've collected through the web and my books and also for Sidney's blog that is full of wonderful, wonderful, wonderful models.

Below you will see (through a very basic video I had just prepared) how I begun with this:

And ended up to this:

And this is Youtube's link (It cannot be uploaded through blogger, don't ask me why...) 

I hope you like it!

Have a good Sunday night everyone!

Limber and ammunition wagon

Greetings everyone.

These past few weeks I have been on a modelling project, for the wargaming club I'm a member (a totally new period for me, I can only say that it has to do with the Great War...) and I didn't have much spare time to indulge myself with anything but.

However, below you will see some photos, of one cannon limber and one ammunition wagon, destined to serve my little men, in wars of the 18th century (WSS, GNW, Seven Years', FIW etc etc). They come from Zvezda's set (Zvezda #8058 Russian Artillery of Peter the Great) and even though each has three horses for every limber/wagon, I reckon that they would pass the test in terms of historical accuracy. The painting is somewhat generic, just for this reason (I couldn't paint the horses green, if that's you were thinking).

Anyhoo, I hope you like 'em.

Have a great Monday night everyone.

PS: Stay tuned for the WW1 project that will follow in due course. :-)
