My first step was to fashion a new gun shield from plastic card. As the gun mount had been rather firmly glued into place I at least didn't have to allow clearances for it to traverse. A second gun barrel was built from some plastic tube.

Very impressive.
Are you going to give it a bare concrete finish or camouflage?
All the best,
Bob
I can see the lads from the "Stomach and Bad Knee" Battalions looking forward to this nice little posting

Definitely camo. I painted one a few years ago and it looks OK so why spoil a winning formula? I do have some 'bare' concrete bunkers coming soon though....

Sounds like my kind of unit!
1 euro! You sure are a lucky chap!
Any way, good job, makes me wish I could find one for that price, the reatil price is too much for something I can (attempt to) make.
Good stuff!

Too Bad... i just re-did mine and didn`t use the guns or the shield.but you did a great improv!

Lucky indeed - I now have three of these! Before I was in this happy position I did throw together a 'home made' version. Shall I drag it in front of the camera?

Given how seldom I expect to use it I was reluctant to spend too much time on it. It does look OK though.
Great idea. It's a venerable old kit. I couldn't fine the guns at the time I was doing D-Day so I put a spare 88 in it instead. I look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Good idea. An '88 (and who doesn't have spares) never eben crossed my mind - but then I need mine to have proper big and scary guns for a handpicked team of desperadoes to try and destroy...
