Ok guys i Hope TreadHead can still mark me off on time....but regardless, i made it on time!
so here you go, my 1/72 diorama, Somme 1916...small stoyline being that the british have taken a german front line trench and are using it to fight the germans who are still occupying their second line trench, after weeks of going over the top in an attempt to take the trench, both sides are making one last stand..... the light artillery gun was knocked out some weeks earlier.
The Somme offensive of 1916 was in the end...a complete failure, on the first day of the offensive, more men died than in any whole battle in history.
I would also like to dedicate this Diorama to my great grandfather, William Brown, who fought through the Somme offensive with the Black Watch, he died in 1992.
heres to you mate
cheers guys
p.s. do i need to put these in the incoming folder as well as my gallery?

David i love it, It looks very realistic I know you put a lot of work in to it so you should be proud of your efforts. How did you do all the ground work?

David, I think your dio is very cool. Some is hard to tell by the pics, I feel you did great job overall with such small scale. I would like to see some pics taken outside that might clear up the color issues you talked to me about. Cheers Kevin

thanks guys!
the groundwork is all plaster, then while still wet i sprinkled fine sand over it.
cheers guys

Very nicely done indeed David!! Thanks for the tip on making WWI groundwork as I'm thinking about using plaster for an upcoming project that I've got going.



I wouldn't worry too much about that. Having them in the Incoming gallery is recommended BUT, you should make sure that you mention this in the "Official Finish Line" for this campaign topic. Just add a note there with a link to this toipic.

Tread is a busy man and having all his eggs in one basket will just make it easier for him to track this participant heavy campaign.

Nice little dio there.

Thanks alot guys
yeah ill post a link in the thread in a few minutes Kevin, thanks for that.
cheers
