So this five figure set is going to be my entry to the GB. Over the top by Pat McGrath, on FlickrYou get five figures plus a full set of WW1 British wesapons and equipmeent and the Makings of a trench Over the top by Pat McGrath, on Flickr Over the top by Pat McGrath, on Flickr Over the top by Pat McGrath, on Flickr Over the top by Pat McGrath, on Flickrthe detail is nice and sharp Over the top by Pat McGrath, on FlickrI might add in one or two figures from the tamiya WW1 British Infantry set depending on how the time goes. Tomorrow I'll tackle the trench so that I can fit the figures as I build them |

Pat, looks a great set, I'm impressed that Masterbox included a little trench as the sets I've looked at only just ever are the figures. Looking forward to following this. |

That trench is very tidy, but it looks like a great base for some DIY |

Exactly Filip. There'll be a lot of DIY involved. |

Too long away from this I made a base to go on a picture frame from Ikea. I used a sand bag wall from Model Cellar that I found in my stash Sandbags by Pat McGrath, on FlickrI cut some insulating foam to shape and glued it in place with my trusty hot glue gun IMG_2597 by Pat McGrath, on FlickrI also added a dugout entrance to the back wall of the trench too. IMG_2598 by Pat McGrath, on FlickrI added a layer of paper and pva glue and I’ll put a layer of coloured plaster over that |

Pat Looking good.It always amazes me how well simple building material can be used for diorama purposes. A couple of years ago there was zero choice in WWI figures and now look what's on offer. By the way who produces the second set of figures in post #5 above ( 1914) Regards Brian |

Yes I think there are at least 7 sets of British/Commonwealth figures on offer now. The second set are from ICM and they're great but they are on the big side. In fact they tower over the Tamiya figures but then people come in all shapes and sizes Edited by Parkadge, Nov 16 2015, 08:03 AM.

Hmm maybe 8 or 9. I'm not sure about that hole. My rationale is that it burst the trench wall which was rebuilt with sandbags but then it would be partly filled in so ......we'll see |

Hi Pat, Being a WW1 devotee really looking forward to seeing this one develop's, and I an sure that you will really do it justice. Just on an aside did I see Capt Blackadder, Baldrick, George, Darling and General Melchett hiding out in those figures?? Cheers Joe M |

I had such high hopes for my participation in this campaign but I'm not going to get there. Instead I've been involved in a project making a large scale 1/24 scale replica of old Ballymun including the seven towers and thirty odd other buildings and we're up against the wire to get it done so I have been neglecting this build. Hopefully I'll get it done as part of the KUTA build. |

...well you can always transform it into Somme for the forthcoming Ireland 1916-23 GB. |

Great bit of lateral thinking there Filip. Yes Pat that would be killing 2 birds with one stone. The Somme, Messeine Ridge/Wijschate ( prelude to the 3rd Battle of Ypes)or the near annilation of the 16th Irish in April 1918 during the German offensive at St Quentin. Loads of possibilities.
