Bunkering Down

You may think I was being kind to Dave by adding the M12 to my US Battlegroup. 
But,..............
More West Wall defence, the bunker was a gift from Dave, from the door size it appears to be geared towards 28mm but the inside would struggle to hold standing figures or indeed weapons. It does make for an imposing 20mm bunker to house an anti-tank gun though.
The gun is left over from the Plastic Soldier Company 38T box to make various Marder varients, not sure if the configuration is accurate but it will do for me.
The hillside is carved polystyrene coated with Polyfiller painted and coated with my scatter/static grass mix.
The crew are old Battlefield Miniatures part of a batch of various figures gifted to me by Dave's son Matt.
Here they are in situ
Next to leave the work desk will be a MG bunker I picked up off Ironclad Miniatures at Partizan n recently.
Until next time...... .

    Nice job, ghat looks similar to the bunker that I pocked up from Ironclad at Partizan last week. hhmm, not considered setting it in a polystyrene mound. I like the gun idea …. Though would be sad at losing the opportunity to get another Marder out of my kit :-)

      Thank you Norm. Was that a 20mm or 15mm bunker.

    Very nice indeed Phil.
    It would make a nice target for some self propelled heavy artillery… 😁

    All the best. Aly

      Thank you Aly. It would indeed, perhaps I may not paint up a resupply vehicle for it though 😁

    Thank you Aly. Indeed it would, perhaps I won't build that resupply vehicle for it though😁
