Cheap easy bunkers
I was reading a scenario book on Hamburger hill over the weekend. Much better than the film lol
It was time I thought to make some bunkers. In true megalomania style I thought the best way was cheap, quick and lots of.
So cutting up some suitable bases from some spare MDF from an old tangerine box (I knew there was a reason to eat them at Christmas.)
Then into the garden for some suitable twigs.
Once glued in place taking into account the item that I wanted to fit in. Therefore make sure the base fits and if you are putting in a roof there is head clearance.
If you are going for a roof cut the roof out.
Then using tile grout, which I use for all my bases, I put on the 'mud'. Once dry paint earth colour and then highlight.
Then add suitable amounts of vegetation.
Job done. Easy and very cheap to produce. As usual I went mad and made a lot.
