Posted on 13 October 2010 at 09:57:25 GMT Most of my defences are in 6mm, I do two types - bunkers with no infnatry in them, my prefred type, or pits to take a regular infantry base. These need to be at least 10mm wider than the base all round. Iv'e found that three layers of art-board are needed to make the pit deep enough.
Build in steps - and then go to one of the cheap shops, ours are called "Pound Land" or similar, and get some filler. THis gives you the side slopes. Sand and flock as normal. I use thsi method for tank pits as well, leaving the rear open, size with the largest model used, and do in troop/platoon sized bases.
Minefields have a fence round em, with signs, youi can find those on warflag in 28mm, but are scaleable. The fence - my latest version involves usine square section plastic and cotton, drill the plastic, thread the cotton through, for 6mm I used 5mm lenghts of plastic, knot the cotton on the end to hold it, then super glue. Add as mnay "posts" as you need then glue to the base as needed.
