My krieg army has trench bases and the amount of coffee stirrers I've cut is easily in the hundreds. I went for a more uniform plank setup and added the grain of the wood by slicing into it with a knife.

I’m a bit of an average painter overall, but do like to go to town with my basing as it can really add to the model’s overall appearance by so much. These are stunning and take what are clearly well painted models to the next level and then some. You’ve done an incredible job, and I totally intend to copy these with my Krieg models. Thanks for sharing.
