Here is what Dick had to say about it with pictures of his finished work below:
I fancied I could create a European version of the Architects of War Jungle Bunker. I thought about making it part of some Normandy Bocage terrain I am working on but found in the end that its suitalbe for anywhere in the European Theater of Operations.
Architects of War provide everything you need for the jungle version. It's very easy to put together and I did my version in about 3 hours! All I really did was flock the base and leave off the jungle plants.
A of W really know how to satisfy the needs of modelers and gamers alike. No fiddly parts and solid construction.
I started by washing the two castings and allowing them to dry. Then I undercoated them with brown spray. The tree parts require you to drill out the points where the branches are added. That took all of five minutes.
Next I glued the trees in place making sure to match up the foilage and painted them adding moss on what would be the northside of the larger trunk and the dead tree sections on the ground. Aof W provides plenty of foliage to conceal the bunker roof joint. I added camo netting made from gauze wound dressing stained greem to which I added some Silfor branches to the the top and side of the bunker and used the netting to conceal the gun slit and entrance.
Fun and easy to do and another fine addition to my 28mm terrrain collection. Now I just need to get an MG42 crew...
Cheers
