Hitlers X Bunker 1946

[danb]

Hey all here is another Paper Bunker dio im working on alongside the Horten Hanger this new dio will be in 1/35 and im using the German REIHMAG bunker as inspiration what will go inside is still under wraps at the moment all i can say is it will involve a paper panzer scenario as the title suggests ;)anyway onto the build the bunker is made from MDF then the photo paper is stuck to that i got the idea of how to make the bunker from Slava Trudu as he has made a version of this bunker in 1/72 for a wingie dio.

So far the walls ceiling and doors have been made the floor and ventilation system will be done next

REFERENCE PHOTOS FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY

Very Impressive Dan, Bring it on!!

[merseajohn]

Crazy!! But I'm a little confused, did you paint the walls or are they printed on 'photo paper'? Either way looks brilliant.

Nice one Dan,but if it's any more than 2'x 2',a lot of comps won't allow it,if that's what yer thinking?

[danb]

Dicky sorry buddy your colour vision is fine its the numpty uploadin the wrong pics is the problem



Tom cheers buddy glad ya liking it more to come soon

BJ Thanks also fella

Mersajohn i dont paint the walls buddy i download the picture textures from the internet and re size them then print them off these textures are designed for Photoshop artists

CB yes i know buddy thats why i have made it under 600mm the pics do make it look extremely massive im hoping to have it finished ready for Duxford and Euro

No limits to what you can put in that Bunker!

[wing_nut]

I never would have guessed that 1st color photo was one of your progress pics. Most impressive.

[Tony Thunder]

Dan,

Very impressive I am looking forward to more of this!

One observation though and it may be intended but there is an obvious repeat pattern in the concrete panels on your back wall?
Are you going to break it up? or is it meant.
Superb setting tho!!!

Tony

[John Everett]

That's Fabulous! Tony may be right about the repeating patterns. But that can easily be covered up with electrical boxes, pipes and "bunkery things".

It looks great!

[tigrazor]

A bit different... But wonderful!

The concrete effect is printed, right?!

[Deano]

Very cool indeed , I would never of thought about doing this but the effects are very good!

Deano

[merseajohn]

That's got Gold written all over it

Leon Glad your here buddy much appreciated

Wouts This looks bigger in the pics really buddy and the answer to the space issue is i aint got no ferkin room left with this thing in the cave might have to put an extension on the garage lol when its finished and have used it for some shows i might sell it or give it away as i have no cabinet big enough to display it cheers for looking in fella

Dogfish my thoughts exactly buddy this will be used for future armour and wingie projects if i can find room to store it

Wingnut thanks buddy much appreciated

Tony yes im afraid i had to repeat the pattern in a few bits as i only had 1 picture to use for the walling but once i get the crane and other bits in there i dont think you will be able to notice it as much i hope :? also i wante to put a set of metal doors on the far left so this might help to break the wall up a bit cheers for the comment buddy

John thanks for the comment buddy i will add some bits so this might help a bit

Tigerazor the concrete is printed from real photos of shuttered concrete it is printed onto Canon craft photo paper for model making also a good printer helps too

Deano thanks for looking in buddy much appreciated

Mersajohn we will see matey all depends on what the judges are looking for ey

[AndyArgent]

Looks very impressive Dan. Look forward to more.

[tigrazor]

That explains the double patterns Never mind, looks just right anyways...

[wbill76]

Looking forward to seeing this one come to life Dan! Very cool start/layout to the bunker.

Chriss Thanks buddy that trip into the tunnels sounds amazing i would love that i have heard about the the tunnels and the things stored there for his evacuation some reports say AH escaped from Berlin in a light aircraft from one of the streets in Berlin but when you add up all the difficulties of the Berlin scenario it does not look possible have you any photos of these tunnels on your trip?

I will be adding posters and such like when i get the basic structure finished im having troubles with the flooring at the moment so the interior furnishings seem a long way off

Bill thanks buddy glad ya here

Andy thanks buddy if it looks ok in your eyes then i must be on the right track cheers buddy
