Welcome aboard and good job, 1st time out. In your second line, you have the two BBcode url codes together, not bracketing the link - I have fixed that for you.

An alternative, since your images are not bigger than 800x600, is to use "img" instead of "url" and display them directly in the post, if that is what you prefer, of course.






Now, for all that helpful advice tell us a bit about what figures you used and what you did to create the scene. You might also stop into the Welcome! forum and introduce yourself.

That's a cracking first go! It'll be better than my 20th attempt I can assure you!

Hope i done this right this time. Like I said, 1st time effort. MDF for the base, Oasis used for edge for depth of trench. Newspaper and PVA glue, for the ground. Used long matches for the floorboards and cut cocktail sticks for the sides of the trench. Sprayed it all matt black and then started on the detail. Sandbags are used roll up filters lol.
The German soldiers were from some I had left from years ago. Maybe Revell, not too sure.
Not don't know what to do with it?

Thank you for your kind words folks. Been going through the pages on this website and I've got to say there is some brilliant work. Seriously thinking about having a good go at the battle of waterloo set I have upstairs part done. Is it best to cut the bases off the soldiers or leave them on?

Hi - this looks really great - it must have been hell in real life
