You better get busy! Like the idea, you going to have any figures scattering out of the trench?

Not too sure yet. I have one pure WW1 Tommy Figure but I want to use that in the 100 small dio I am working on. This is for the vignettes category, one or two figures wouldn't hurt but don't think I'll have the time to do it :hmmm

More work on the terrain - plaster all over, wooden beams and posts in the trench, sandbags (Old Tamiya kit), crushed cat litter all around and stones made of plaster. Much more to come.
Ordered some figures too, about to make a start on boxes, crates, scattered stuff in the trench.

Thank you Gents, appreciate it 
More progress ...
Unditching beam showing - obviously not as the final position, just to estimate the length of those chains (KA Model brand).
Added more rocks to the terrain, some stuff in the trench and a stump at the rear, roots showing there too.
Not as much as I would have liked but still progress ....
Cheers,
Laurence

Thanks MP, Phil & Gator, appreciate it 
Stones painted Humbrol Camouflage Grey, rest of the terrain is Humbrol 29. Humbrol Light Earth around the stones. Time to let it dry.
Since the trench was BO-HO-HO-RING a decision was made to give it a makeover. Pics attached. More work needs doing plus the terrain, plus the figures, all three of them sorry, couldn't resist laughing at the effort of doing all that after reading Bob's update on the Logistics - 350 figures there if I can still count correctly
Anyway, here the come
Thanks for looking,

You will need to add another 100 or so figures mate
Looking great
It's about the density of the population ... I'll ask Bob the size of his diorama the work out density of figures / mm square and reproduce that
Numbers don't lie, just a matter of interpreting them

Thanks MP & Luiz
Rocks are now at the "starting colour " stage - panzer grey (Vallejo) with just a touch of London Grey, makes it a bit lighter. Humbrol Light Earth around the stones, rest of the terrain Dark Earth. Everything wood is now Vallejo Flesh Base and will receive the proper wooden look later on today.
The tank has to be finished yet in terms of weathering. The beam at the front is entirely scratch made of balsa, PE parts, plastic bits from other kits, a chain from KA Models, styrene, copper wire etc. Needs weathering of course.
