My trench project is going quite nicely and I already have ideas for future pieces such as more turns, gun emplacements, and command emplacements. I have moved on to coating all the sections in a slurry of Durham's Water Putty, saw dust, and a mixture of dirt and small pieces of gravel swept up from my garage floor.
Sections with dried Durham's slurry
After the Durham's had dried (a few hours), I painted with a sample pint of brown acrylic wall paint I'd found on the clearance shelf at Home Depot. In addition, I sprinkled the floor of each section with the stuff I found on my garage floor. Most of this will be covered by planking, however I thought it would give a nice look for any dirt peeking through the planks. You can see a definitive styrofoam look to the walls, but this will all be covered in shoring. I have kicked around wattle fencing, but planking will be much faster and it'll look good enough for my purposes.
Stay tuned for drybrushing, planking/shoring, and flocking.

First boccage, now trenches? Sure making it tough for the Yanks.
Looks great, nice work!
Trenches are looking good!
Also, I nominated you for a Liebster Award, as part of my Liebster, here: http://cluckamok.blogspot.com/2014/06/not-leapster-liebster.html
This post also has the rules of acceptance. Carry on : )
Chris,
Thanks, dude! I really appreciate that. Thanks for the comments on the trenches; I'm really happy with the progress. Hope you had a nice Father's Day.
