Neat looking setup here Andy with both scenes.THis lunchtime's progress on the Amonal charge Flimsies. I used Aluminium foil tape, which comes with an adhesive side. I put one piece over the block of cans stuck together and burnished it on with my finger nail. I trimmed round the edge and removed the unwanted bits. I then put my finger nail between the joints and finally pierced the corners with a spatula where I've rounded the edges of the cans. This way I've not had to clad then individually and waste time and energy.

The front row of the top stack was made as individual cans which were clad with the Ali tape which had been cut to size.

This is how they will sit on the model so you can see why I put little effort into sides which are hardly seen. I still have to add handles and spouts, I have some made but have mass-production methods for that too. (Look on page two of this thread.)

This is how far I've got with the two halves of the section.

Tunnelling was another area important to ANZACs because of all the miners we supplied to the Western Front. Are you planning to have a full complement of ammonal charges?
Perhaps leaving a few loose, may help give feel for all your work here.
As it's difficult to get sense of depth & detail you've meticulously replicated here.
Top scene looks very claustrophobic- spot on!
