AndrewBelsey Posted 24 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 24 March , 2010 I've managed to laser engrave a labelled drawing on an acrylic sheet. This sits over my model on its lid to explain what's going on beneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 24 March , 2010 Share Posted 24 March , 2010 Have now run out of superlatives entirely. Well, almost - magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewBelsey Posted 10 September , 2010 Author Share Posted 10 September , 2010 Hi there, I don't have much spare time these days and the model is on hold. It's nearly completed, but I have 2 dugouts to detail and finish off the electrics which light them. I have work, which I'm thankful for, but I'm too busy to finish off the model - One day!

Hi there Andy, Wow...I only just found this topic about your trench model. It's fantastic, a real credit to you...time, patience, and huge talent ! I hope you can see your way clear to eventually finish it. Incredible stuff mate. Cheers Wig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Connolly Posted 14 September , 2010 Share Posted 14 September , 2010 After your employment troubles it's nice to hear you've got work! Would an entity like Bovington Tank Museum or the IWM not be interested in a diorama like yours? Just so it gets the recognition it deserves.

AndrewBelsey Posted 10 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 10 December , 2010 I'm still too busy to finish off my model but have some more photos for you. I played around with a mirror to extend the view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River97 Posted 11 December , 2010 Share Posted 11 December , 2010 I have left various comments through the thread and this still amazes me. I have been known to sit, stare and dribble. It's just incredible, and I think the mirror effect in the photo above just tops it off. Cheers Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 11 December , 2010 Share Posted 11 December , 2010 Great photos of a superb piece of work, Andy. Newer pals joining the thread at this point may not realise the microscopic scale of this model - perhaps you could post a photo including some everyday object for comparison.

grantowi Posted 11 December , 2010 Share Posted 11 December , 2010 Fantastic achicvement, you really have an eye (with bloody good eyesight) for the details, brings the model (dare I call it a MODEL ?) to an almost photograghic state. What are you planing on doing with it when it's finished ? Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewBelsey Posted 12 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 12 December , 2010 Here's me holding my model to show how big it is. I'm not sure where it will go eventually when finished. The National Army Museum don't deal with loans and the Imperial War Museum didn't reply to my email. It lives in my loft for now until I finish it!

AndrewBelsey Posted 12 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 12 December , 2010 Here'e the model a bit closer. The front line is at the top, with the support line at the bottom. I made it a bit irregular on purpose, as most of the aerials of trenches are quite confusing and other models look as if they were designed by the Grenadier Guards!

SiegeGunner Posted 12 December , 2010 Share Posted 12 December , 2010 Good to see 'the artist as easel', Andy. I was thinking of a photo with something like a coin or a pencil placed on the detail of the model to show just how tiny the individual features are.

Mr Wig Posted 15 December , 2010 Share Posted 15 December , 2010 Wow...Andy, damn that's impressive ! It's a shame the Imperial War Museum haven't replied to you. There has to be a museum or facility that would put it on display ? Maybe get the word out, and ask here on the forum ? Can't wait to see the end result...keep at it mate !
