Erwin Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Totally awesome did you get plans for this? or is it totally speculative?? Either way its great! It's an own design with elements of real bunkers.I live at Oostende Belgium just 1 Km from the Atlantikwall remains.Also my visits to Normandy helped me with this bunker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Two interesting pictures. 1943... Same type as part of the Atlantikwall museum at Oostende/Belgium... Some progress on my bunker.I added support beams and a vent fan. The part in front of the opening is the inside roof.In reality made from metal beams and board where the concrete was poored on.

rich2010 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Having been to Normandy many, many times, and lived in Jersey too, I can testify that your bunker has all the hallmarks of an original. The last pic for example, the fan, the ceiling, the entrance-way, all bring back memories of my childhood 'bunkering' as we used to call it. I always, always used to think I'd come face to face with a German soldier when digging around - albeit forty years on from when they left. Keep up the great work.

I visited Normandy three times .Last was in 2014 during the 70 th anniversary.Best visit of all with the extra shows they gave and reenactments.

Okdoky Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 What is the overall sizes of this model ???? Looks fantastic and will be a cracking centrepiece on a display taple at the shows !!!! What are you going to use for the 1/24 figures ??? Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That already looks better than the hole I have to work in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) The base is 88 x 65 cm. Finding figurines is the most difficult part. I was hoping to find these figurines from the 1/25 Panzer kits. And then there is the 1/25 th Tamiya officer...
