Aimed at both the beginner and more experienced modeller, this is a
guide to the design, planning and creation of realistic models in
1:285 and 1:32 scales. Covering British, French and German trenches
of the Western Front, this book includes the different
construction, materials and repair methods used during the
conflict. Each chapter includes the historical background, together
with step-by-step instructions. With over 300 photographs, this
book includes: why trenches were a necessity to save lives and how
they adapted through the war; how to build models of British
'ideal' and typical trenches, a wet soil trench, improved shell
hole, front line dugout, tunnels and mines, and a hospital tent.
Construction advice is given for typical French and German
trenches, together with a reversed German trench (modelled under
British control) and a German concrete bunker. The creation of
artillery models, realistic groundwork and plants is covered along
with perfecting fine details such as tools, clothes, mess tins,
shaving equipment, cigarette packets and letters from home.
Finally, there is a guide to visiting the trenches today, a trench
glossary and useful measurements at 1:32 scale.
