My Initial intention was to create 2 Japanese Riflemen in Spider holes however as they were quick and easy to make, I decided to make more for the dual purpose use, as an entrenched section.
If you have been following my blog, you will have noted that I normally make my entrenched infantry figures to be able to be removed from their foxholes see the following links:
British Infantry entrenchment and German Infantry entrenchments.

As mentioned previously, my initial intention was only to make sniper holes, I wanted to make them as small as possible. First step in the construct was to cut down the Warlord games plastic torso a short distance from the arm pits, then attached the head ,arms and rifle/LMG/ammo mag. Next step, super glue the figure to the metal base and use liquid Green stuff to fill in any gaps. |
 |
| I used Milliput to create the sniper hole, fist step, roll a a sausage shape piece ofMulliput and place it as close as possible to the figure, use a carving instrument toblend and cover the metal base, being carful to keep the hole effect around the body intact. |
 |
| I also created rifle straps from the Milliput and set aside to dry and prime with can of Black primer. |
 |
| Once the primer has set, paint the earth around the figure first then move onto painting the figures. |
 |
| I am also in the process of making a Junior leader to join the section. |
 |
| Add flock and they are ready for deployment, this shoot show how low profile they are. |
