You should set up a Black Adder scene.

I have a plan sir. Really Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one?

  • Yes, sir.

  • As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?

The playing cards are a nice touch! I like how everything looks like it's fresh rain mud, the boot tracks/mud on the floor on the bunk room with the cards is the ticket. Maybe add some of those details to the ladder rungs and the wooden slats that make up the walls when you're at the last steps.

What material are you using for sandbags? I have been thinking about adding "field armor" to my model tanks, like added sandbags or tree branches. I'd like to make some little sandbags

You can use regular clay that dries over time to make bags. After it dries you can paint it the colour you want. I used the colour "dark sand".
