                        Dio idea: I need you guys input
                        Posted by modelbuilder on Thursday, February 18, 2010 9:25 PM

                        I am wanting to do a dio and have been slowly gathering items. The idea I have is for a scene that may have been witnessed in Italy in WWII. An emplaced Panther turret as a central point of a defensive line with an observation point and possibly a machine gun emplacement with trenches connecting them. Any idea of an online source where I can find specs for German bunkers so I can scratch my own? Any ideas as to how best to go about this? This will be only my second dio.

                        Verlinden used to have a number of bunker/trench bases in their line. I don't know if their still in production.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                        Does anyone have a spare Panzer Tracts 21-2 they might part with? If you dont have a spare can someone scan the scale drawings out of it and send to me?
