WW2 Log Entrenchments in 28mm with a Tutorial

.

With more miniatures done for second world war wargaming we need some other additions aswell, including entrechments or MG nests. In Chain of Command you can "buy" entrechments as support and one entrenchment should be able to hold a team while two of them should be enough for a squad or section (i.e. about five or ten men respectively).

As much of our WW2 gaming center around forrested areas on the Eastern front or along the West Wall, like Hurtgenwald, log entrechments seemed like a good choice. Very easy to make they are too.

1. Twigs from the garden made into a wall using wood glue.
2. A build up in front made from cardboard or similiar material.
3. Cover the front with filler or any other cheap, rough material. For extra detail add a few small pebbles into the filler.
4. Paint it all in your base colour, for us a dark brown.
5. Drybrush with lighter colours. We made the logs lighter than the surrounding "earth" for more of a visual impact.
6. Add flock and other vegitation that goes together with your wargaming table.

All done, with some 28mm Americans to show the size.

Plenty of space.
