Thanks very much

Yer I imagine they were thrown up fast and also I would like to imagine they very old all rusty and covered in grass etc

I’ll have to take a look at colours and paint effects after casting

You should be proud of those trenches, damn I’m sure if you do cast these up you could sell them like hot cakes.

Some vehicle wrecks and barbed wire fields in front of those trenches manned by some death Korps would be an awesome looking games table.

Hello xkillgorex

Thanks very much yes that’s the idea to get these cast and put them on my eBay see my signiture below for the link

Hopefully fingeres crossed they come out good just put them into mold boxes for the silicone pour this evening

Will keep you guys updated on the progress soon

These are coming along wonderfully! You've put a lot of effort into these!

Hello guys

Today is casting day fingers crossed these come out good

Will keep you posted with some pictures today

Ah will be looking forward to seeing the result .

Good evening guys

Well first batch has been casted and has come out rather nice

Will get one more set done and paint the other for a photo shoot

Hope you guys like them?

I'm trying to stuff money through the screen to you, but it isn't working!

They came out great! The work you put in for the detail really paid off. Do you have any tips to share when you mold and cast something like this? I'd love to see your process, because it really works well.

Very nice... any idea of the price those will go for eventually.

Hello guys

Thanks so much for your support been real inspiring to get this project moving

The prosses of casting is a tricky one I will take some pictures of the molds soon there is tones of YouTube stuff on how to do this kind of thing and I learnt from them and still learning as I go

Cost wise not sure yet need to test the water first so will put a fully painted set up for auction

Will keep you guys posted on the painting part

Well the pics look pretty cool. Damn I didn’t know that I needed a set of trenches but I do now. Lol.

Ha ha everyone needs some trenches at some point

I’ve attached a few pictures of the set up and the prosses of pulling the casts from the molds

After this they are sanded down to make sure they are nice and flat and the excess removed from the sides

Good god, that’s never a straight resin piece fresh from the mold, hope forge world are taking notes. Ha

Ha ha yes the pour in the top molds are a lot easier to do then the two part injection molds

Please see attached how the painted set are looking so far I’ve done a base coat on everything and a few colour washes

Will do some more washes and dry brushing next.

Hope you guys like them so far

Good evening all

Almost finished the trenches just waiting for some tufts of grass to arrive before they are suitably finished

In the meantime please see how they are looking I’ve sprinkled a few of the boys to show the scale

they look great, but only suitable for 25mm/1" bases.

Hello

Yes only a few sections will accept bigger base sizes but most models with large base sizes tend to have better armour or wounds
And would not need the cover as much as your standard guardsman

Again, thanks for taking the time and sharing in progress pics. I know it's extra work and all. These have really come out great. the last batch of pics, is that a 4 foot long section of trenches or 6? A "table's" width basically?

Hello

Right given them a measure up and it’s just over 3.2 foot long

I imagine this could be made longer with additional sections

Hello guys finally got some finished photos done

I have got one fully painted and unpainted set up at the moment

Most impressive! Amongst the best I've seen on the subject, those little details really bring them to life.

Hello sherrypie

Thanks very much has been a really enjoyable project with everyone’s input has been brilliant
