Sherman turret Bunker , Bastogne-Belgium


Recommended Posts

That looks great! I knew the Germans did this a lot with tank turrets, but wasn't aware any other nation adopted it. Nice little dio.

Thank you Greg. Yes, there are lots of sherman turret bunkers. The yankees thought the nazis could come back, so did many in france, netherlands and belgium.

Absolutely stunning build! Really interesting subject!

Though, I hate to point out, the mantlet of the gun appears to be upside down! Though it is a really nice build! The foliage around the turret itself is effective.

Ops ) I will fix it, thank you Lancaster

And thanks for ur kind comments

Not sure that these were actually turret emplacements. I've seen a couple of them on my own travels around the Ardennes and they look to me more like turrets mounted on plinths post-war as monuments.

Regardless, it's a nice piece of work. Perhaps a figure would give it a bit more sense of scale, and add an extra dimension of interest.
