Here is my first attmepts for the Cover-up campaign. My plan is to show a fortified bunker wall with a few of the figures from the Italeri rest camp set inside. I am going to include the officer and radio man for sure, then add whatever other details I can scrape together, maybe some shelves, ammo boxes etc. I am not sure if I should go with boards for the wall or logs (twigs). If the pictures don't work go to my link and you can see them there. As this is very early in the process any tips or suggestions are very welcome.

Bison:
Looks good I like the relaxed environment you are creating here.
Personally I like the twig option better, the way you have them built looks good and I think it's a little more interesting than the board option..... Keep us posted!!!

Thanks for the comments guys. Graywolf: I was planning on having the signal magazine included in the kit on the table and maybe put the flag on the wall of the bunker. Any ideas on things i can scratchbuild to put in there to make it look like these guys are actually living there?
