With air-dry clay. Each bag is made individually and then imprinted with textured pattern of a strainer's mesh, stacked, painted and weathered. This way, you can make almost any shape of sandbag barriers.

KC...
I'm impressed...
you did a very nice job on fabricating the sandbags...
they look very realistic and give you the opportunity to create any size or shape bunker...
nice work!

Here is the AA gun sandbag emplacement with a bit of added dramatic snowing effect. I don’t have an AA gun so a howitzer here for scale purpose. Hope you all like it as much as I enjoyed making it.
