Thank's Clogged,all the best for ANZAC day,The DLI were certainly among many famous regiment's with a large haul of medals including VC's, 12,000 were killed by the wars end many in the early years exclusively from the towns and villages of the county. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon J Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Excuse my ignorance but where do the figures in this scene originate? I am assuming it is a ready made set that was released by someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Gordon I think Masterbox.the figures and trench were in separate boxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By co-incidence the photo survives Vince right at the bottom of page three. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235004388-over-the-topmasterbox-trench-scene/page/3/#comments Edited April 25, 2020 by stevej60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they were actually in the same box, the set is called 'British Infantry before the attack, WWl era', something of a misnomer, as they are actually going over the top! I have the set, but used the trench parts for another piece using Masterbox's 'British Infantry Somme period 1916'. Masterbox do make very nice sets, I may have to get another one of these to do my own 'over the top' piece. Your model is excellent, great paint job, much better than my figures! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tip Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 My God, how could I miss this one? It's brilliant! There is, however, one small problem - that everybody always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112 Squadron Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 This is really a superb scene and a grim reminder about the horrors of trench warfare in World War 1. Looking at the officer preparing for the assault a famous line of dialogue from a well-known TV-Series comes to my mind: "Don’t forget your stick, Lieutenant." "Oh no, sir — wouldn’t want to face a machine gun without this!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
