Finally got started on OPERATION COVER-UP...

Base is a teak wood salad bowl I found at the Thrift Store for $1.00.
(1) I refinished the bowl, stained it and applied four layers of Satin Polyurethane - both inside and out to waterproof.
(2) The trench will be cut into the base, so I cut out a section,
(3) and then filled in the trench area with newspaper and clay.
(4) Flipping the bowl over I filled with POUR STONE (a plaster like concrete filler material) to fill in the base and weight it down.
(5) Paper and clay were removedout, and I am ready to start working on the ground work and Trench....

now where are those figures again....

hi John,
good idea and nice photos. the front and back wheels of the kubelwagen will be in two different sides of trench? dont forget to place planks under the wheels

I like the idea behind the dio. I have only one question, how did the vehicle cross the trench without droping down into it nose first ? Just a thought but you may want to add a bridge of some type.

Bad Drawing ability... I am a 3D’er not a 2D’er...

The idea was for the jeep to angle drivers side nose down into trench... ...of course the more I think about it the less likely I am going with jeep anyway. Other ideas are wandering around my corrupted modeling brain....

who know what evil lurks in the twisted minds of men...

Thanks for the input.

John
