Looking for some ideas on purchasing or even making 6 mm bunkers for a terrain board. Suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Paper Terrain makes 10mm scale Normandy Bunkers, nice, takes a bit of time to build but you get 6 in a pack. Tops lift off to put guns or troops inside. I think it takes less time to build than to paint up some resin or metal ones. They are a little large, but it shouldnt be a problem. I-94 Enterprises has some resin 6mm scale bunkers, more generic than anything specific. I have both the Paper Terrain and the resin models from I-94 and use both in my games.

Really looking for MG small pillboxes, and 75mm to 88mm AT bunkers abourt 4 of the MG and 2 of the AT.

I-94 went to sight but cant see what im purchasing, really like to see the product befoer spending the money. Few other places are the same.

If anyone has on pictures of bunkers they have bought I would love to see them. I dont mind if they are paper, resin, or metal.

Sorry all for all the questions dong some reference for a battle and terrian I want to build.

Have you tried Legionsive in Canada? It looks like they got some of the old Leva range and some went to i-94.

Cheers

I believe it was the Leva stuff that I-94 got. Or from the US maker that Leva was licensed from or something like that. I have a simple bunker with 2 slits that makes a fair MG bunker. For the AT bunker, if you could get your hands on the old bunker from the Aurora Anzio play set, scaled down for 1/285th, the 2 MG barrels in the slits made great 75-88mm guns. I see those on Ebay every once in a while. I've seen a few others, but no recollection on who made them.

I have a variety of the old Leva terrain pieces. Buildings, field works, etc. Of the many small vendors working in cast resin at our scales, I think Leva was the best.

It is my understanding that when Alain (owner of Leva) retired he sold the majority of his molds to DB Miniatures of Canada. DB is a brick-and-mortar hobby store, if I have the story right.

Legions IV Hire (L4H) acts as the online selling agent for DB Miniatures. L4H is mostly a painting service, but also provides a webstore (accessable directly or via eBay) to sell products at retail online. They sell the ex-Leva line for DB Miniatures, but also sell miniatures from other suppliers.

I have done a purchase or two from L4H, and always had a good experience. Seems everyone else I have ever heard from on the subject also regards L4H well. They are easily enough found by doing a websearch or on ebay.

I know that JR miniatures has some bunkers in 6mm. I don't own any myself, but last time I saw them at a gaming store in Calgary, they looked pretty good. The Medium bunker I think has 4 or 5 and the larger one...heavy bunker has 3 in it.

Just to second the good experience with L4H...I got some of his modern afganistan stuff for my canadian FOB and had a really good experience ....I also have several of The GHQ concrete bunkers and they are awsome...Gamecraft may have some bunkers as well...........Mikey

Link Deleted. Will repost when I can put some pictures of my bunkers up from I94 without going through their website.

Don't want to take fire from the mods again.

Promised Bunker Pics

From I94, although Legion IV Hire carries most of these too:

Atlantic Wall Heavy Flak Emplacements T-118

Atlantic Wall Light Flak Emplacements T-113

Type 515 MG Casemate - PZIII added for scale

Another MG Casemate, don't remember which one though!

They are resin and come unpainted and unflocked

A Type R-667 Anti-tank Casemate. I got this one painted off E-Bay a while back.

This is one of JR's bunkers, built into a terrain board.

I made these out of styrene and spackling paste:
