Essential for any defensive position are company trenches. Once again they were made for Bir Hakeim but with an eye on other scenarios. In fact I can´t find many defensive positions in Bir Hakeim protected with sand bags as they probably could be targeted more easily due to their recognisable shape.
The idea is to make trenches with a rear dugout protected by some wooden plaks and enough space at least for eight figures ( four bases each 2,5cm X 3,5cm).
Once again carved RoofMate was used glued to plywood.
One of the trenches got a Vauban shape...
...while the other four are straight with the usual dugout.
The small stones around the trench helps to shape the piece and also gives some weight helping not to deform it.

Really enjoying this build report.
