A fantastic little structure by K&C, WS193 Normandy Pillbox. I esp. like the removable roof.

Special thanks to 'uksubs' for sharing a picture of the interior of the pillbox adding to my interest in this piece. I was torn between this and the newer WS296 FT-17 Pillbox. I esp. like the metal railings to climb to the roof, the steps leading inside, and of course the removable roof that sold me on this one.

Again a nice one, especially love the cloudy background you use with this little bunker.

Thank you all for the nice feedback. I had trouble figuring out how I was going to use this bunker as well, esp. with limited "traditional Germans". Most of my collection is of the N. Africa variety and Kriegsmarine. The Kubelwagen set provided a solution. I would like to incorporate with the Atlantic Wall Gun but not quite sure how to do so. Right now I have it displayed with my Kriegsmarine jetty diorama simply placed by itself behind the gun. I think I need a little cliff/hill to make it higher.

In any case, thanks. Did I mention that I love the removable roof?

I would also put the bunker and the costal gun together; eventually put one near the other. If you wish to create a bunker or a concrete protection for the costal gun, make it with polystyrene then plastered and then painted in grey....It is not hard to make and you will be happy with the result.
