Aside from the nice (but rather expensive) models by Grand Manner, are there any other resin models of sandbag emplacements suitable for the Vietnam era? Must be a UK manufacturer. |

Doesn't Pegasus make a good set of those? |

Go to the local Dollar Store or your equivalent, and buy a boy of modelling clay. Take a chunk and roll it until you have a snake like thing in a reasonable thickness for your figure scale. Take a knife and chop it into pieces of a reasonable size, then pinch/flatten the ends of each piece and there are your sandbags. Really, you don't even need to do the indvidual bags, just make enough of a slice that the pieces look individual. Prime them black, and then dry brush on your preferred color. |

Yes, please don't buy sandbags, they are the easiest and chaepest things to make. |

I hate making terrain. If I can buy it rather than make it I buy it. Sandbags included. Crates too. The Pegasus models are very good for the price. |

We do some ready painted dugouts – all earth embankments and sandbags. There are several emplacements and a range of trench parapets than can be used to make a firebase set up. Have a look here – link |

I stock sandbag emplacements from four different companies but all are from the USA. |

Hi Shaun, I did look in your lists but did not notice sandbag emplacements: whereabouts are they? I just want basic sandbag structures, not with other clutter. Some pictures would be good. Regards, Alan |

You might check with somone who is able to do Hirsch Arts casting. I stock them from two companies and they are very reasonable. |

In an article in a Wargamers' Digest from the 70's, it described how to make sandbag structures out of mini-Chiclet gum lozenges by gluing them together in whatever configuration you wanted. I tried this with PVA, but the water in the glue made the sugar coating melt and run. Epoxy, perhaps? |

Scotia-Grendel has sandbag terrain in their range. |
