It`s only a 223

Coming on nicely mate.

Now that's a base, looking good already

All looking great. Consider earth sufficient to support grass on the roof & camo paint to blend bunker into gardening.

Cheers Scottie, despite all the years of trying,I STILL can't get the hang of the "Static grass applicator", hence,at the moment it looks very scruffy!!

Thanks Mick, I'm doing my best!!

Hi Paul,
Thanks very much mate.
I read your post early on in this build,and thought,"Good info, hadn't thought of that"! (Haven't really seen many colour pics of these things),
I've taken it on board though ... And just laid some "earth" down on the roof

Looking good Andy. I think I might be tempted to angle the 223 slightly to liven up the presentation though. It looks a bit “fore square” at the moment. What’s the problem with the SG applicator? Usually they are pretty bulletproof, even if they do static flock your arms…..

I have a book somewhere w/color pics of Org. Todt bunkers etc. in situ. I'll try to find it.

The lawn mower broke down didn't it or Boris's hairstyle Andy...just kidding.:smiling2: Should look okay with different shades of green. The off angle on the composition as suggested by Tim would look better if the bunker hasn't already been stuck down otherwise all looking good.

Cheers,
Richard

The base looks good Andy, the position of the 223 maybe needs a tweak, but then the figures may change the composition.

It was 'After the Battle the Siegfried Line No.163'. It contains "then & now" photos of many of the std. bunker/pillboxes, unfortunately the then photos are all blk. & wht., so no help for camo. paint.

If you google "PIRMASENS WESTWALL MUSEUM" you'll get a lot of images of bunkers.

Hi Chaps......
Thanks all for your comments,,,,, sadly,the Vehicle sank into the "Mud",so no longer moveable.... and the Pill Box itself,due to it`s footprint,and size of base can`t be repositioned either :flushed:,
Sorry about that,but i`ll plod on anyway.... i kinda like it!!
ANYWAY,thanks to Paul Eb`s suggestion earlier,i`ve made a start at trying to,not only improve the groundwork,but also put some Live based "Camo" atop of the emplacement........ early days,and needs some blending in,with the camo paintwork i`ve yet to do on the walls,but it`s not that far off!:thinking:
Thanks for looking in,
Andy........





........ Cheers!!:thumb2:

Evenin` Guys,
Not a shocking amount of progress to report!:fearful:
..... However,after my post on John Race`s "Mojo thread",i thought i should at least just show that i`ve been trying to do SOMETHING on this!!:flushed:....
I`m rubbish at figures,but still chug along doing em!!..... This is,as always with my posts,"Warts an all"!!...... There`s a long wat to go with them,even for me!!...but these are the chaps i`m intending to use..,.....





as i said,there`s a long way to go with these,(mainly because i`m not very good with em!!),but at least it`s some progress!!:astonished:

The figures look spot on, as does the base.

[Tim Marlow]

So if you are rubbish with figures, as you say, where are they then. We want pictures…... Those you have posted look pretty good to me Andy, so there must be some more somewhere.

[Allen Dewire]

They look good to me too Mr. Smiff. Very nice work there......Is it me or the camera angle, that makes the guy on the left look like Andre the Giant against the other 3??.......Probably me..............

Prost
