Hmm Jonathan, did you not see the Churchill ARV, the Sherman Crab, The Commandos in berets or the Battlefield in a box Normandy set???

Regarding the grenade troughs – back in my day we were taught to dig “grenade sumps” in the bottom of our fighting holes. A grenade could be rolled into it an most of the blast absorbed or directed straight up. Or so the theory went.

Sorry I’ve been scarce – I’ve been traveling non stop!

Thats what I was thinking, theres lots of niggly bits trust the Jerries to make something nigh on impossible to re-create in 1:100, but I shall get out my balsa wood and bits and see what I can come up with also I’ve hopefully created a way to make dragons teeth so that they’re all the same size….

Well, to be honest I wouldn’t hold your breath…I’m notoriously slack when it comes to creating masters. Look at the 15mm building facades I’ve had 1/3rd completed for about 6 months now!

The other difficulty with bunkers is you’d want to make a one piece pit style mold…but creating the windows could be interesting then!

Ahhh this is a fantastic plan, as it’ll save me $150 (I’ve seen BFs December catalogue) and it contains a large Normandy Beach set with cragons teeth, bunkers etc etc so if you could just make a whole gaggle up that’d be great, But if you need some help let me see what I can come up with :P
