Im still working on the first Dio little by little…Did some work on the base yesterday morning. Before that I hadnt touched it in almost a month! Im no where near being done Im not even really done “starting” it LOL…But hey Im not in a hurry!
I did have a question though…
Dragons teeth used in WWII were made of concrete right? About what size were the 1:1’s? Im wanting to make some and thought of a way to do it I just dont know what size to make the 1/35th scale ones and whether I should use Resin or Plaster…and if anyones interested Ill be happy to share my idea for making them…
Thanks
Here’s a little something I found on a site dedicated to the people who fought on the Siegfried line…
“The Siegfried Line in the sector before the 63rd Division consisted of two belts about a mile apart, each composed of a line of dragon’s teeth (tank obstacles) which were three staggered rows of concrete pyramids about three feet high. Before the line of dragon’s teeth were one or two antitank ditches, each eight feet deep and twelve feet wide. On every knoll and through all paths in the woods were concrete pillboxes situated so that each one was supported by fire from one or more of the others. For every three to six pillboxes there was a key or central pillbox which contained a control point for the others. The line itself was about 500 yards in depth, though well-camouflaged pillboxes dotted knolls and rises for miles. Most of the fortifications were covered with earth and overgrown with vegetation…”
Thanks! That helps alot! Do you have a link to the site? since Im basically doing a sectioned DIO of the Siegfried Line
