Help!! Bunkers and Spider Holes for 28mm Vietnam
« on: October 20, 2012, 10:46:06 AM »
Morning all, having got into Force on Force and Ambush Valley I'd really like to acquire some Tunnel entrances and Spider holes. For convenience commercially produced would be easier but I'm not adverse to scratch building some Any ideas or links to tutorials out there please?

Hey Johnny - isn't there a hint of Deja Vu about all this mate? ;)

I'm not sure of any commercially available spider holes/etc - maybe converting some of the TAG 'Pacific war' foxholes*, by changing the figures, adding a roof and some jungle stuff around the edges? There are also 'sniper holes' from this guy in the states - but they don't really look the par

An article on speed building a sniper hole:

And a few other home made Spider holes/tunnel entrances/hot-spot markers...

Has one in 15mm




A couple of pics for insperation if you go the scratch building route :)

Does this mean I have a reason to paint up the Tunnel Rat figure I've got?  :D

There is a feeling of we've been here before and buying some figures apart I completely
forgot you had a previous interest in the Nam mate, as always tho you've given me some excellent pointers, Found another good one over on AA that should fit the bill for Tunnel markers. Now if I can only find the time
