Title: Gunner for the Tobruk bunkers
Post by: Orcs on 24 November 2016, 08:25:31 AM
The Tobruk type bunker was widely used in Normandy, both on the beach defences and inland.  It was also added as an additional defence to other bunkers. 

Pendraken produce several bunkers with the Tobruk point on them but currently there are no gunner figures to man them.

We need a single man firing an MG34/42 with the saddlebag magazine and gun shield.  With a bit of thought it could be cast as a standing figure that could be used to have a manned MG on the Half tracks and cut off short to fit in the Tobruk points - Two for the price of one
