To the Trenches! Chain of Command
How its done .... Sandbags
This is the part where the model reaches its final stage of construction. It starts out exciting but ill admit, does become a bit tedious the more you do it.
First I roll out some blue tac until its about 4mm wide.
Then I flatten the roll with a lolly pop stick – I find this gives a decent thickness of the bag, and also it naturally rounds the edges slightly.
I then cut the bags from the strip of blue tac. About 9mm ish. I try to keep the bag the size of a infantrymans chest to stomach as that feels about right.
Once they have been cut to size, I use a sculpting tool (to be fair a cocktail stick would work just as well) to score each end to represent a seam of the sand bag.
