As part of the Japanese defending force for my Pacific mini campaign I needed some bunkers to support th the trench works already completed. I have created two based upon a log and earth type structure.
First off the machine guns, Airfix do not have any heavy weapons in the Japanese set, just a light machine gun, so I had to convert some figures. I used Esci guns cut from the Japanese set figures:
While in the conversion mood I also created some Bedouin Arab gunners using the Airfix Arab and 8th Army sets. These will go off to engage in colonial battles:
The Japanese machine gun nest was made from bamboo kebab sticks:
A roof came from an MDF base:
The machine gun tested for size before the crew are added:
Filler is used to build up the earth walls and roof:
Sprayed brown all over:
And finally grass and foliage is added to complete the bunkers:
Nice job on the bunkers!
ReplyDeleteNice conversions and the MG nests look very effective.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Bob! Reminds me of the Tarawa game my old club put on at Salute.
