Anzac Cove battlefield

Attached are two photos of the table I am preparing for the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli (25 April 1915). Each Hexon terrain level represents a 20 metre contour. The two stands illustrate infantry companies.

Impressive way to present the battlefield.

Thanks Norm. I will post some more pics as the project evolves. Currently there is a terrain mat laid over the Hexon contours. The mat is slowly conforming to the contours. Then I will add the beach, shrubby landscaping, dirt road, etc.

Here is a photo of a steam pinnace and tows, heading to pick up ANZAC troops for the landing. The boats are 1:600 scale mounted on ultra thin plywood measuring 1.25" x 2.5".

Here is a photograph of the Hexon Terrain covered with a mat. The latter has gradually conformed to the shape.

When I get back from travelling then I will dress the table further.

Looking great. Can't wait to see further progress. Many thanks for posting.

The terrain mat has settled enough to enable some ground cover to be added:

While not directly related to the Anzac Cove landings, here are some X-lighters from PT Dockyard. These LCIs were used by the British for the Suvla Bay landings later:
