I thought these could look cool and improve the overall aesthetics of my games. So here's how I made them:
I covered in PVA glue and flocked with Woodland Scenics 'Earth Blend'. |
I had some 50x50mm steel bases from a previous project. These are to glue to the bottom of the other base. Card or styrene could be used also. |
I painted them brown, so the steel wouldn't be seen in the bottom of the trenches. |
I wanted to give the impression that soil from the trenches had been piled behind the holes. For this, I used some Vallejo 'Brown Earth' basing gel. |
(This is the product) |
Once dry, I dry-brushed the "soil" with a light sand colour. The infantry helmets were also highlighted, and their faces and rifles painted. |
Final touches were adding some of the grass blend I use for all my bases, then added some static-grass clumps. |
The finished dug-in infantry on the table. |
Ingenious! Mind if I steal your idea?
