Bunker type 667 for a 50mm KWK L/42 gun
This i my first ever attempt making a bunker made out of Formstein,
It is alot more work than making a formwork bunker ( my other bunkers)
There is still room for improvement.
Formstein,
Hollow concrete block, in which concrete and rebar was poured /placed...so no need to make a formwork out of wood .

Great idea with the marker. It works!
I am scratch building a German flak sled which is nothing compared to what you have done. I now know how difficult scratch building can be ( I am on my third attempt) and you have done a superb job. It is a shame you lost the progress pictures. Did you put the base coat on the range finder for variation on the top coat?

No. The ones that were placed in the bed of trucks. I couldn't find anybody that made one. I read the review of
Masterpiece Models' Tape. It sounded interesting so I went to their web site. Guess who makes a flak sled? Masterpiece models. The wonderful world of modelling.

Wow. That is exactly what I am doing. Thank you. Those two curves in the sled are what is giving me problems. I will finish it. I bought plastic, rivets everything to do it (can't buy skill). There is one difference with my Opel Blitz. The cab was sometimes cut off which is what I am going to do. This was only done in Africa. I have no idea why the Germans did that.
