105mm Gun bunker

Post by tenerifecrimson »

For the D-Day anniversary, I made a bunker equiped with a 105mm gun. The gun is coming from a toy with some modification it will work well init, to allow the gun to move left-right, up-down and some vibration when firing, I used few components from a Heng Long 1/30º tank.
The bunker it self is made from foam then I puted some filer. On the side you can found the on/off switch and the plug for the battery charger hiden behind some green.

On the top of the bunker,I planed a Flak 43 gun to take place but unfortunatly it don't arrived on time. So to replace the A-A gun I placed MG gunner team. About the uniforms, for the feeling of surprise I don't put all the items on it.

Looks great.

Well done,very unique and very detailed. Just needs a Sherman in front with a big hole in the side to complete the effect.

what exactly did you use on th sides to give it the concrete texure?

did you just give it a light wash of black paint to give it that concrete color?

is this just some design of your own for the bunker or did you find drawings somewhere for it?

looks great, looks just like a concrete bunker :thumbup:

if styrofoam sheeting could hold up on it's own against paint balls, i'd be building a few of them (have a few sheets of the board left in the garage)

Hi, OdysseySlipways

I used a book: Bunker Archéologie of Paul Virilio for the photos and drawing.

I used Grey Cement upon medical netfor the side.

One's dry, made a wash and then a light dry brush andthis is it!

I hope I've answer to your question.
