The Rotterdam Project Part 4 - Concrete

A major part of my cunning plan to stop Army Group B will be some fixed defenses and fortifications - or Kazemats in Dutch.

These will consist of a weapon bunker and a squad bunker (both concrete), a road block, and a couple of minefields and wire entanglements which I'll hopefully get finished soon.

The weapon bunker is an easy one - my mate Paul (with the 3d printer) has found a .stl of a Dutch B Type HMG \ ATG bunker and kindly printed it off. The print went a bit off with the roof but I judged it recoverable = beggars cant be choosers and all that. Here it is after a coat of paint.

The second emplacement is larger as it needs to hold either 2 teams \ weapons or a squad. This one is "home made" from pink foam based on a S Type bunker in the Peel-Raam line I found some plans for.

Both are a bit tall - a result of the real things being buried at least partly underground, but we cant really do that on our tables and reducing the height to represent that makes the rear doors look daft so I'm just going to have to live with tall bunkers.

Roadblock, mines and wire to follow........
