"Big Box,Little Box" Richard!!...... Base is under way:hugging-face:.
Thanks Scottie,(Dawg!),just thought it added a little splash of colour:thumb2:.
Cheers Rick,glad you like it
.Hi Mick..... your wish is my command.......
............Thanks Andrew,much to do,but it`s coming on!:nerd:.
A`noon all,
Some base progress,first though,a bit of an accident.......... Dropped the MG carrie and broke the Butt off.......
The plan for the base...........
Beginnings of groundwork........
Alittle filler was needed,but not much really,finally,tentative start at painting the Pill Box..........
So there it is at the moment,started the uniforms of the 3 figures,but not worth showing yet!
As always,thanks for looking in,all thoughts,comments,or plain old abuse more than welcomed!!!:thumb2:

Coming on nicely mate.
Now that's a base, looking good already
All looking great. Consider earth sufficient to support grass on the roof & camo paint to blend bunker into gardening.
Cheers Scottie, despite all the years of trying,I STILL can't get the hang of the "Static grass applicator", hence,at the moment it looks very scruffy!!
Thanks Mick, I'm doing my best!!
Hi Paul,
Thanks very much mate.
I read your post early on in this build,and thought,"Good info, hadn't thought of that"! (Haven't really seen many colour pics of these things),
I've taken it on board though
... And just laid some "earth" down on the roof Andy
Looking good Andy. I think I might be tempted to angle the 223 slightly to liven up the presentation though. It looks a bit “fore square” at the moment. What’s the problem with the SG applicator? Usually they are pretty bulletproof, even if they do static flock your arms…..
I have a book somewhere w/color pics of Org. Todt bunkers etc. in situ. I'll try to find it.
The lawn mower broke down didn't it or Boris's hairstyle Andy...just kidding.:smiling2: Should look okay with different shades of green. The off angle on the composition as suggested by Tim would look better if the bunker hasn't already been stuck down otherwise all looking good.
Cheers,
Richard

It was 'After the Battle the Siegfried Line No.163'. It contains "then & now" photos of many of the std. bunker/pillboxes, unfortunately the then photos are all blk. & wht., so no help for camo. paint.
If you google "PIRMASENS WESTWALL MUSEUM" you'll get a lot of images of bunkers.
