Thanks buddy , much appreciated.
Now to all of you people ;
On you tube i found this documentary about a team of British and Belgian archaeologists working together to explore an British and German trench of WWO 1 in a field near Ypres ( Belgium). It gives us an idea about these trenches after lying hundred years in the ground.
'' Digging up the trenches ''
Warning , at minute 33 to be exact they show skeletons , humain remains were discovered in the excavation of the trench.

I saw this about a year ago. Very compelling show for sure. If I recall correctly the human remains were colonial troops? They also found a trench snipers' face shield?
Thoroughly fascinating stuff.

Hi Kurt,
Same detail as Jerry, but it was good to view it again. There have been some interesting 'Digs' on the 1st World War.
Cheers

Thank you gentlemen for your reply !
Yes Jerry, i actually thought this was the documentary that you had mentioned before . You are right about the French colonial soldiers they found . These fallen soldiers are from North African origin .I'm not sure about the right translation in English but i think they were called Zouaves. The discovery of a sniper shield is also true. Thanks for staying tuned brother !
That's true Alan ,it's incredible ! If you examine a farmland in the old saillant of Ypres , you can find all kinds of remains of pottery like fragments of rum jugs for example, cartridges etc... . Not by digging just lying on the surface .
But discovering a dugout is really fabulous !

Okay people ,
here i am with an update of the diorama. I started to create the German trench located on a small hill .
Here are the photos ;
I putted a figure on top of the entrance of the dugout to put everything in perspective
There will be much more.....

Hi Kurt.
Last picture is already a peace of art. Raw desolation in a great perspective.

Hello folks ,
okay round 2 !
After the first layer of plaster filler ( joint filler ? ) , i gave the whole surface a second coat.
I also started to apply shell holes . The tank is temporarily placed at the front of the trench , like he was hit and knocked out just before the parapet.
Here are the pictures ;
I still have to apply mud and rain marks on the tank ( no worries )

The groundwork is turning out brilliantly!! Wow!!
I would make a small suggestion. The shell holes or craters are too evenly spaced. Can you add a few more to break up the pattern? If it makes you feel any better,Hollywood screws this up all the time as well. Look at all of their after the battle shots and you will always see the bodies of the dead and wounded very evenlt spaced. This never ever happens in the real world.
This will be a very cool and ambitious work when done brother.

Hi Kurt,
That looks impressive already. To put a figure in for comparison was just fine! Your dio will indeed always amaze me!
You may well remember that I often had certain apprehensions, but you always convinced me that you had everything under control! Well done then!
I would certainly concur with Jerry (as most of the time actually
) regarding the shell holes, but I suppose in this case the overgrown vegetation will help to conceal Hollywood flaws.What intrigues me a little is the vast (and void) area to the right...! As there will not be any "action", I cannot but wonder if this could not diminish the "drama".
Convince me yet again m8!!
Back to work now..!!! I'm impatient to be proven wrong!!
Well done so far on this difficult subject!!! Biiig congrats from Vienna!
Cheers

My dear brothers i thank you for following up !
concerning the shell holes ; I guess the both of you guys are right ! I just need to add more craters like you said Jerry. Consider it done buddy ! I also agree with Romain that the vegetation will brake up that simultaneous pattern .
There will be no Hollywood scenes on my diorama !
Well Romain i have already noticed that you and Jerry and Claude are like the three Musketeers on this forum . , i would like to be the fourth Musketeer ! 
Do not worry about the space on the right , i have a plan !!!
Geben sie mir bitte ein bisschen zeit , alles wird gut !
Greetings from Flanders ,

Hi Kurt,
Things are moving along, I to am intrigued as to what will be happening in the extra space. There would be plenty of options for the local farmer reclaiming the land or a sectioned off 'dig' by historians, even some people treasure hunting or sight seeing.
I'll look forward to developments, all things are possible.
Cheers

Hello Alan ,
thanks for looking in ! The scene with the historians and diggers is something i think about , a few tents , lets say a small field camp or camping place for example.......seems like a great idea !

Hello everyone ,
i'm back with a small update . The trench will be partly intact the other part will be destroyed.
Today i started to create the intact part of the trench. There will be no duck bord on the bottom of the trench because it is on higher ground . The Germans used planks to cover the bottom of the trench , wich i do also on the diorama .
The pictures ;

Hm...those sandbags....I don't know!
Just too "uniform" in shape..and not easily incorporated as they are fairly stiff!!
It's up to you!
Cheers
Romain
P.S.: if you take my motto into account, I see where the "musketeers" are coming from!

Hello Romain ,
en garde monsieur !
hehehehehe......i have a box full of trics m8
One is called Tamiya dark soil and the other is an airbrush.
I do understand your opinion but your always a little to soon to rais a verdict
Those sandbags are from Italeri and they are ugly when they are not painted. But as you can see if you look at the following pictures below it's a whole differance with a mixture of Tamiya texture paint and a little bit field grey.
That was the intact part of the trench , i did also the other side wich is almost completely destroyed. Just to be sure , i have not finished the trench yet .
The machine gun will take place here
The devastated area of the trench gets most of the foliage.
Stay tuned y'all
