Alamein terrrain - work in progress

Just to show I have made a bit of progress in the rain.

Step one, after cutting MDF to size, sanding the edges, adding thin expanded polystyrene to cover, then cutting out trenches and covering the bases with kitchen towel and PVA.

After a second coat of PVA. I added some texture using PVA and sprinkled them with builders sand.

Excellent. You gave me courage for doing the same.

Although it's not a scale I work in as a rule, could you tell is more about these pieces? E.g. design, arrangement of trenches, weapons pits, bunkers comms trenches and what have you. I have made up some foxholes and stuff for a larger scale, but I'm always open to fresh ideas - and these look pretty good!
Cheers,
Ion

Why the kitchen towell stage, Will? What does it add?

Phil, it prevents the Expanded Poly-Styrene breaking up. it's the low density packing sort so it's quite fragile. Serves me right for scavenging from neighbours bins rather than buying high density blue foam (High Density Poly-Urethane).
