OK, what is this? We have all see the German WWII bunkers with Panther or Panzer tank turrets. This is a US Stuart Tank Turret on a makeshift concrete bunker.
I had the leftover Takom MAUS V1 turret shell for the first prototype. Looked a lot like a concrete bunker. It didn't take much effort to find and fit some Tamiya tank parts to fill the opening.
Next it was about making it look feasible, so I scratch built a top hatch with some other spare parts. I think that ladder was a part from SPACE 1999 Eagle. Anyway, you get the idea. Just leftovers.
After it was painted and weathered, I imbedded it into some sculptamold and covered with groundwork fluff. Not too bad for a quick fun build.
