Laser cutter appears to be dying.  It’s struggling to cut cornflake packet card consistently, but it's >5 years old so done quite well! 

New tube on order (£85) from Germany – hopefully that will get me back up to full power.
It might also be the power supply… but I’m hoping the tube will suffice!  Also I think my brother has a spare…

I did actually look at them but in 28mm they are hugely boring.  Just a great slab of grey. 
If broken down into rooms then you could I suppose fight through it, but they were never raided, they just held out and surrendered intact and largely untouched. 

Even post war the attempts to blow them up where ineffective. So much so they jsut buried the remains of the Berlin zoo tower after failing to demolish it properly.

Even reduced in scale they are monstrously tall.

At least one of them still looms on the Vienna skyline.

I saw it being more of a  multipurpose item  storage box/scenery.

You could always play medal of honour Airborne. You know Propper history just like Warlord stuff ;D

My Jarvis urban mats turned up too.  They aren't bad but will take some flattening out!
