Im planning on building this prety much design for design but i will be making makeshift bridges from popsicle sticks for tanks to get over parts of the trenches so during set up i can put tanks on the first risen area closest to you and then drive them into battle, also for sand bags do you just use green stuff?

[Terranscapes]

@EviceratedFoetus Actually, I made modular molds for the trench tops and they are cast in UltraCal30. The masters were made using air drying clay, but I don't really recommend it as it shrinks quite a bit when its dry. Green stuff would be a good way to go, but it will get pricey. I recommend getting the big tubes of green stuff to cut your cost a bit. Good luck!

Are these trench boards going to be the default trench boards we can get from your site in the future?

[Terranscapes]

@Kasonthehero I do have plans for making trench boards available. Right now I am working on a new set for a ruined refinery set which will include some tiled roads and a canal system. Once those are finished, I am planning on producing trench boards for that set. Those will probably be available around the end of the year with any luck. Sounds like a while from now but it takes time to develop new pieces and fill existing orders.

Beautiful work as always, its good to see people who received some of your work will order more, which indicates its as awesome in real life as it looks online. (not always the case these days!)

I had a question for you, if your working on a board you clearly do at least some drybrush over the bare ground, do you mix those lighter colours and keep them in jars, or do you have multiple colours that match up well.

[Terranscapes]

I use custom colors I had mixed up (by the gallon) at the hardware store. That way I can make sure future work will match up to past work.
