Title: MG Bunker
Post by: Gunbird on January 10, 2012, 01:46:10 PM

Just a few quick MG Bunker I cobbled up sunday afternoon. Just some toothpicks, plasticcard and filler on a 50x40mm plasticcard base.

I copied the picture of the one that is sold for FoW, and took the frontage of my sandbagged bunker as a base (which is seen on its side in the pic....oops!). Quick, simple and easy for all of the periods I game in.

I'm most taken with my succes at painting Birch.

simply brilliant! that's a wonderful piece of scenery! so simple but really really effective! It would also be great so see some mg popping out from the hole... but i dunno where you should find them!  Since only the top is needed, i guess you should use some from the ways too abundant miniatures armed with that weapon on the plastic sprues!

You are really productive, and sure bring out a lot of new stuff in a rapid pace. I really like what you are making, it looks good and very useful for wargaming purposes.

Quite so. Makes me want to bring out my old Airfix plastics.
