Interesting choice … I wonder how many it contains, and if it has the foundations too that would give the correct spacing. From the box art, I get the impression these are exactly the right type for the ones near where I live:

Not my photo, but I ddi take these measurements about 20 years ago, in case anybody buys the Gecko set and wants to check:

Hmm - just the sort of thing to 3D print - there are already files to freely download........

They were — see my drawing OK, only by 25 cm while the spacing is 110 cm, but the middle row is not in line with the other two. Could be the spacing was different at other sites, of course — the only ones I’ve ever looked closely at are these that are under ten minutes’ bike ride from my house (in fact, the bicycle path cuts through the obstacle!).

There are a lot of misconceptions about shapes, sizes etc. of these, though, as the 3D image in Dave’s post shows. However, I agree they are probably ideal for 3D printing.

"After the Battle" special issue, The Siegfried Line no. 163 has many before/after pics of dragons teeth & other WWII fortifications. Most teeth are shown on foundations to hold their alignment. Barbed wire, bunkers, fortified houses & pillboxes are often shown in support. Pics are from that magazine for illustrative purposes.

Interestingly, that truck in the foreground has the Allied star upside-down, and with a very thin ring around it that probably shouldn’t be there at all. Also, the truck on the road in front of the Jeep is German, isn’t it?
