Landships II

Thanks. Regarding your suggestion. Yes I thought that also. But instead of a fictive 1919 scenario I chose an alternative 1918 scenario in wich both the K-Wagen and the LkII were used, since both were near finished in late 1918. But I agree with you that 1919 would fit better.

BTW: Does anyone know how to remove those Attachments below? I tried to delete them, since I used directly shown images, but they seem to appear again, each time I delete them.

Thanks,

Well here is how I built the landscape:

The lines of the trenches were drawn on a 3mm wood plate and card-boxes and Styrofoam were arranged and glued on the plate. The space between the boxes are the trenches.

For the grenade craters and impact holes, I made holes into the boxes and glued
parts of an egg-box in it. Thick cardboard (imitating wood planks with a knife) was
glued on the sides and floor of the trenches.

Then the whole landscape (except the trenches) was coated with several layers of paper-machee (newspapers, water and glue).
After drying the whole thing was coated with plaster (using dry plaster powder to imitate sand and little stones). Roads and tracks were drawn through the wet plaster.

Sticks and pieces of wood were placed on the landscape to imitate broken trees.

After drying the whole thing was painted in dark earth colors (acrylic colors on water base).

Sandbags were made out of painted salt-dough and terracotta. Barbed wire is scale model barbed wire (bought at the hobby shop), twisted and placed between tooth-sticks.

Finally some wet glue was placed on some areas and model grass was spread on it.

The figures are:

Germans:
Hät-German Heavy Weapons set
Hät-German Artillery
Emhar-German Infantry

Revell-German Infantry

Americans:

plus a few Airfix French Infantry
