Made this some time ago, local B&Q supplied some very useful plumbing bits for the cloches and turrets

Lovely job. Does the top lift off?  :)
I remember going inside one of these about 30years ago. It had a working railway and everything down there...
Incredible, isn’t it, that it never ocurred to the French high command that the Germans would just go around them...

Top work there - the build (including all the little details) and the painting. Really lovely.

Fantastic work. Was it ever used in a game?

No, the Germans just went around the other side of the table...  ;)

Great work - it looks to be based on a 'placemat', to give an idea of size.

Thanks all
Top does not lift off Captain, but the turrets turn.
It has been used in various games, I made it for a mate and he plays 15mm WW2 FoW.

Ooh nice and inspirational as my next thing on the to do list is to make a Czech version for 28mm figures.

That’s a cracking wee model! Very convincing groundwork and some lovely colouring! :-*
