These items have been sitting on my computer for a while finally found some time to post them.
TOBRUK
 |
| Completed Tobruk |
 |
For the project you will need 2 metal washers,scissors,superglue, 2 x evergreen stryrene sheet, not pictured hobby hand drill and 4 x tiny earth magnets.
|
 |
Cut the Evergreen stryene sheets into irregular shapes,superglue the metal washers in place and prime with a black primer.
|
 |
Paint with Vallejo game colour Stonewall Grey and highlighted as the Concrete Bunker.
|
 |
Conversion work on 2 Warlord game plastic Germans.
|
 |
| Used Milliput putty to fill in any gaps. |
 |
Add flock to the Tobruk, paint the figures and using your hobby hand drill prep holes in the base of the Tobruk and the underside base of each figure.
Place a small amount of superglue in the holes and position the magnets (make sure to check the polarity before gluing them in position).
|
 |
| Touch up with paint on over the magnet in base of the Tobruk. |
CONCRETE BUNKER
 |
| I used 3mm MDF to construct the Bunker, building up piece by piece and gluing each individually to make up the bunker. |
 |
| The roof was made from a 9mm MDF filed down around the edges and used coarse sand paper to roughen up the MDF. |
 |
| Completed construction with roof in place - just a note if I was to make another Concrete Bunker I think I would just make it out of Dense Steryne foam. |
 |
| Primed Black. |
 |
| Vallejo Game colour Stonewall Grey to wet brush over the whole surface. |
 |
| Next step continue to wet brush the whole surface with Vallejo Model colour Off white. |
 |
| Add some colorization to the bunker with VMC offwhite, Green Orche, Black Grey,Olive Grey and Vallejo Game colour Carne Marron Tan |
 |
Add PVA glue to the surface that will be flocked and sprinkle on flock.
I have used Woodland scenic Earth blend, dark green and whatever I had at hand at the time.
|
 |
| The door at the rear of the Concrete bunker was painted with VMC Black Grey and highlighted, I also added some VMC calvarly brown. |
 |
| Interior. |
 |
| Pak 40 in action. |
FLAK EMPLACEMENT
 |
| Completed Flak emplacement. |
 |
| Starting the process. |
 |
| I used MDF, 3mm for the base and 9mm for the edges. |
 |
| Once put together I filed the MDF to roughen the surface. |
 |
| I followed the same painting steps as per Concrete Bunker. |
 |
| Painted and ready for the application of flock. |
 |
| As these items where constructed for a 2 day gaming event The day before the event I forgot to order a flak gun, so I whipped this up in 20 mins using bits and pieces of plastic sprue, Every green stryene sheets and a drill bit. |
 |
Slapped on some paint and washed it with Agrax earthshade.
The construction of the Flax it not going to win any prizes in a modelling contest but it did the job for the event. |
TRENCH SYSTEM
 |
| Germans rushing thru the trenches to engage the enemy. |
 |
| Using dense strenye Foam cut sketch in the trench, use difference sizes of files to shape the trench. |
 |
| I use a large modified cardboard box to contain the mess from filing the foam. |
 |
Cheap hobby sticks trimmed and glued around the boundary of the trench.
Painted the trench VMC Earth and highlighted and flocked applied.
