Top quality Wayne a real eye catcher with a wealth of inspiration-those half submerged duck boards really look authentic. I reckon Bruce Bairnsfather would have been proud to have included these shots of yours in his "Fragments of France".
I have studied the subject of the Western Front for many years and akin to your keenness with the ACW I too love the concept and the range of possibilities of WWI dioramas. But in this hobby of ours Wayne- Discipline- becomes the major factor in whether or not you stay solvent or you break the bank^&grin
