Ww1 horror of the trenches

Nice start Ken

H,i all need to cool it down a bit, I think the explosion is still too hot and still have to add debris and stuff but pleased with progress so far. I'm actually quite enjoying this even though it was sort of forced on me and is not my normal genre, maybe I should do more stuff like this.

Hi all here is the next bit, I remodeled it a little bit, I stuck the smashed up ladder and other bits of debris, then I kept looking at it and thinking what is wrong with it? Then it dawned on me they were broken but unmarked, no scorching or burning, so I've fixed that but it still seems wrong, any suggestions.

Looks good Ken, I reckon a lot of earth and mud needs flinging into the air. Perhaps brown the explosion base a bit too.


Worth a try. If it doesn't help, you can always paint over it after!

Excellent work Ken. Just one question: How did you get that figure to stay in the air like that? 

[Guest]

Well i could say It's a special levitation method taught to me by an old swarmi, or I could say it's magnets, or maybe smoke and mirrors, truth is he has a piece of fiber optics up his jacksi

This is looking hot Ken

Hi all here is another update.

[Guest]

Excellent stuff Ken, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this looks when it's finished  xD

[Guest]

Hi all well i think this is finished (unless someone can tell me something is wrong with it) next one will be the start of the war, lots of mortar holes and mud. Will take some better pics in daylight.

[Guest]

Hi all made a start on the next one, this will be set prior to the trenches one so will basically be a muddy field.








The depression in the middle will be filled with muddy water .

Nice job Ken. I never done it, but do understand how difficult it would be to capture the moment of detonation. Splendid.

Hi all here is how I did the explosion I got the idea from Ian W I've changed the method a bit but this is basically it, obviously it needs colour and smoke yet but this is the basic start of it.
