Thought I'd share the gun emplacement I built with matchsticks and polyfilla, the gun platforms are 40mm wide

Cheers

Well done.  =D>

As everyone can see, matchsticks are very handy and, for some reason, quite effective in providing a good wood effect.  :D

If it helps to give anyone any additional ideas, here is a link to photos of a couple of my own efforts (for 15mm scale, alas) augmented by the odd cocktail stick, Pendraken gabions and Pendraken figures (unfortunately, I need other people to post photos for me on this forum):-

Those are really good! Very professional looking.

Works for later periods too. Matchstick protection for my WW2 German MGs below

Some brilliant emplacements there

Take care
