If you Google GERMAN WW2 SENTRY BOX DIMENSIONS and then select images, you will find some have dimensions on them. Google also shows a 1/6th scale one for sale on ebay. The dimensions of that are L 12" X W 9" X H 16 1/2". Multiply those by 6 and divide by 16. It's amazing what you can find when you look!

Aye thank you for helping, 6-2pm physical shift can be tiring now at 66. Had today off and working the weekend, trying to find some low cost 1/16 German troops to give my sons ideas, I have boxes and boxes of Tamiya 1/35 German troops along with vehicles still boxed, lol.

I wish you luck with the search for low cost 1/16 figures. Depending on how you define low cost, aliexpress has a range of resin figures, which are copies and require assembly and painting. There used to be 1/18 scale figures from 21st Century, but these have become rarer and more expensive. If you can find a source for either scale, it would be great if you would share it.

Tried AliExpress for figures, came up as posted in 7 days, didn’t happen and changed to 30 days. Still waiting on the order being despatched, 8 days and should get an automatic refund going by AliExpress rules, that or a claim through PayPal/credit card. I did a card dispute once before.
