Emplacement activity

While clearing some junk* out of the garage a few weeks back I found this useful looking bit of packaging.
To my eyes it had 'gun emplacement with trench section' written all over it.  A liberal application of brown and green paint soon rendered it fit for service.
The French were the first Great War figures which fell to hand, the gun is one of my more disreputable looking Britains pieces.

* - fear not, there still seems to be plenty of junk left...

    Reminds me of some of the old Bellona emplacements and nests. Good use of some junk.

    Ever wonder if the chaps who design packing are wargamers?

    Trenches out of packaging- the gaming equivalent of jumpers for goalpost. Great work.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    Much of the fun of war gaming is extemporising stuff from useful looking junk...

    No - otherwise they'd have included sandbags...

    You may like to try explaining that to Mrs Gow...
