Modelling WW1 Trench Warfare

[China Dave]

I got myself a copy recently, I haven't quite finished reading it yet and anyway it's a book that I will come back to repeatedly I think.
Waiting in my stash is a 1/16th Renault FT model kit and I had been wondering how to present it when finished, now I know (thanks to the book)
I want to build the interior of a German trench, looking at it face on, with the tank looming overhead attempting to breach the gap.
So, many thanks Andy for all of your time and effort, it is inspirational and informative both in the history and the model making techniques.

This is an excellent book, I was very fortunate to win a copy in the Brennan Brush Challenge.

Thank you guys for your encouragement. I needed to do a lot of research to make the models correctly and then found that I’d found a gap in which I could publish a book with my collected research and collection of models. It was fun to do but doesn’t bring big dividends. But I have the privilege of being a published author of a book which gets good reports from modelmakers and historians, which is great! I’m always around for questions too, if you need to know something from a trench nerd!!
