18pdr gun emplacement cast
Permalink   


I've recently built a gun emplacement to go with the W^D 18 pdr, some photos below.

It would be possible to cast these, would anyone be interested in buying this kind of thing as an accessory?

Yes! Certainly. This is the sort of thing i've been after for ages! Any chances of a bigger, deeper one for heavier artillery such as the Strelets pieces?

Hello,

 

Depending of the price, it is very interesting.

For other artillery guns also.

 

All the very best,

What would it be cast in, resin or hydrocal plaster ?

Casting would be resin

Resin is quite expensive; would vac-form be an option? Another option could be concrete. TAS Models do their bunker models in concrete which works out quite well.

Resin is a little more expensive but I think makes a much better product.  I'm not sure though that there is really enough interest to proceed in any case.

Mike, I wouldn't judge the interest level from the replies on this forum. To make a reply you have to be logged in, and there are a lot of people who just browse without logging in. Also, this is quite a small forum with a fairly small audience. You'd get more eyeballs and feedback on, say, Benno's.

Personally, I'd be more interested in a cunning model of sandbags - cunning because it could be locked together in different configurations to make a range of features, such as revetments, walls, emplacements and so on.

 Mike,

You could take it up with Paul Thompson of Early War Miniatures (aka von Miligan on this forum) as he might be interested to use it as a master in his series of vac-formed trench pieces.

In the light of Paul T's recent post, I'm withdrawing this one, I won't be making it for sale

Cheers
Mike

That's a shame, as I'd much prefer a resin one than vacform which I won't purchase

I have had  change of heart with this and have decided I will after all be making the emplacements for sale if anybody wants them.  PM me if you are interested but photos are below.
