Terrainfest 2025 - Crusading in the Trenches
Detailing the Trenches
Time for another update! Didn’t do one last weekend, but boy I’ve been busy working on this board.
I’ve been spending the past couple weeks working on adding details to the trenches, taking them from muddy ditches, to something that actually resembles man-made fortifications.
Essentially there are 3 things i have been working on.
– Covering the trench sides in corrugated cardboard to represent corrugated steel sheets. This has simply been done by spraying corrugated card, cutting it to shape and gluing it to the sides. Then spraying some bamboo skewers and cutting them to size and gluing them in place to make them look as if they are holding the sheets up in place.
– Making the walkways. Done by cutting up lollipop sticks to layout the pathways, then coffee stirrers to 1 inch widths and sticking them across the lollipop sticks to create the wooden walkways. I have also used this method to create some trench wall panelling in a couple places.
– Creating puddles in the blast craters. 2-part epoxy resin and a small drop of brown paint. Simple
I haven’t got photos of the finished details yet, as I’m still working on them, so they will come in the next update which will hopefully involve sandbags. But for now enjoy the WIP shots.
Probably won’t be updating again before Christmas, so Merry Christmas everyone!
