I spotted this ancient margarine tub heading for the bin a few weeks ago. “So what?” I hear you cry. Strange to say, it put me in mind of photos of Soviet WW2 pre-fabricated concrete MG bunkers I’d been looking at. Having successfully rescued the thing I at once set to work to produce yet more of the museum-quality terrain for which I am rightly famed.
The first step was to cut it in half....
...next I cut out the vision/firing slits. These are quite tall so as to accommodate both kneeling and standing firing figures. Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode!
Brilliant title!

ReplyDeleteI thought so! So I had to use it!
It is surprising how we are inclined casually to throw away such useful items. I made a whole series of dragons' teeth from the interior bumpy bits of egg cartons. They're good for 1:72 up to my Army Men scales, and a bunker (not so accommodating as yours) from one of them there soft polystyrene (?) meat trays.
