Does anyone know what are the Normandy Pillbox dimensions (WS193)? Does anyone know how it compares to JG Miniatures German Pillbox (M53)?

I am not sure of the dimensions but my bet is that it would work very well with the JG piece you mentioned. I saw it at Sierra (it is currently on display in their window with the new commandos). One thing that is difficult to tell by the pictures is the detail, you have to see it to truly appreciate it. It is one of the best pillboxes I have ever seen. The battle damage is great, but the spent shells on the roof as if somone was up there firing does it for me.

I hope someone gets back to you with the exact dimensions.

Thanks PA, your assessment is of great value and very helpful to the purposes I have (a new commando’s dio I’m planning)!

Happy to help! It is absolutely perfect for a commando diorama.

Like I said I hope someone gives you the dimensions.
 
Sorry I don't have the dimensions but I did look at both at the Columbia SC show a couple of weeks ago. I thought with the price difference it was worth comparing. IMO the JG pillbox is quite smaller and would not match up as well with K&C figures. I wish I would have taken a K&C figure over to compare but just eyeing it that was my assessment. I'm sure someone else will chime in here for a more difinitive answer.
Like others have said the K&C pillbox is very well done.

Measured one earlier today.

Height 95mm (with roof on)
Width across front 200mm (note partly due to the strut/pillar coming out at front side)
Depth 140mm

Have not seen a JG pillar box so cant compare for you.

Hope that helps.

Regards
Brett
