acouple of links to help you along Jim,

hope this helps,

Thanks Monica, That's "Mama Cat" as we call her, the matriarch she is, her hunting days have been over for quite some time now, just spends her time lounging about, what a life!

Have you seen this of a cat as a passenger in a microlight?

Did a lot of looking around and it seems both sides used whatever was available in their particular areas, the Germans seemed to have the more sturdy and permanent systems, lots of timbers, logs, sandbags and dugouts also extensive wire entanglements which I will also try to encompass in the dio. This one will be very involved, almost wish I used a bigger board

Hi Jim there's a documentation about an wwI trench excavation in belgium its called the big dig.


And this is a good one too

I think one of the main different was that the Germans use thin branches in there,that ran across way,was one thing that you could tell at a look was German,was that use of branches,

I watch that one Richi,it was a very good doco,about it all,as even till this dy there is still the trench as were,very interesting show,
I always try to watch that type of thing,

Think I'll be going with the timbers instead of branches [ATTACH]112847.IPB[/ATTACH]

or maybe a combination of both, top layered in sandbags with wire in front

[Richi72]

Great decision Jim, this would also be my choice.


Branches would be an option i you could make a mold of a small piece and reproduce it again and again, if you know what i mean.


Cheers Richi

Made RTV rubber molds years ago so I know of what you speak but to make branch bundles {for lack of a better word} I could use straw cut short, been thinking it out. Will also make dugout entrance opposite tanks..........Jim

[monica]

this is a good pic of the German trench ,which show the branches used,


do like Richi,idea as well,


dose sound a good plan Jim,

Getting trench together, made dugout, coming along.....will also build fire step on 'front side' of trench........plenty of sand bags to be made to run a few layers on top of trench and dug out. Tanks will be coming through wire entanglements dragging wire and posts along, nasty business [ATTACH]113062.IPB[/ATTACH]

Looking good Jim,like the idea of two tanks in action.

Yeah, I guess it is John, the more I think it out the more little things come to me. This might just be my crowning achievement {until the next one comes along}.........Jim
