Building Gallabat: Pt 2
It turns out that replicating the Gallabat scenario from Rapid Fire (first edition) is more of a major undertaking that I had properly appreciated - if it's to look any good. I have several builds running at once. I needed to build three strong-points for the Italians to defend the border and so I took to a sheet of XPS foam board and cut three oblongs of different sizes. XPS foam board really is the terrain makers product of choice and I took little time in cutting it to shape, chamfering the edged and hand sanding them smooth. I took particular care to make the edges as thin and the slope and low and gradual as possible. I then sketched out the entrenchments and glued them to sheets of thin floor vinyl with Gorilla Glue before trimming it to the edge. I have no reference for these strong-points (they don't likely exist) so went with a generic pattern for greater use later on. I ensured that the distance from the forward trench to the front edge was over 6 inches as this is ...
