well... i have to pull my head to you sir... all that planning ahead... something i never was able to do...at all... i always develop things as i go along... but i can see how this is a fun and rewarding thing to do...

as for ideas and so on... beyond the stuff dave, galorn and childe have said... i am of little use here... all that strategic talk i just read is way over my head it seems^^

Is the Machine Gun Nest dug in? Or is it a pillbox? If it is dug in, then you should connect it to the trench system, you wouldn't want your ammo runners to have to go "over the top" just to get there.

@ Vik - I'm sure that it really isn't over your head.

@ Dave - I'm thinking that it would be a pillbox set into the top of a hill so that it would be able to sweep noman's land. Maybe with a rear entrance dug into the hill?

Perhaps try something smaller right now that you can build?

I had a few idea's of little things that I wanted to try and make.. But where we had been living in a hotel when we moved down I didn't bring any modeling stuff and where I won't get to go home until actually moving back i'm kinda SOL....

But I can plan and I see materials that would work for certian ideas and think... Never stop thinking...

On other news constructions going amazingly well AND I might just have found wood for building boards! Scrap wood from the wall sheathing! 1/2" ply! what a score. Now just to ask if I can take it and then to get my Dad to bring the truck on his next visit and I'm set for like 3 tables... At least base wise...

if you are short on materials... start with cardboard... scissors and kifes and PVA and you are set... when all is painted mostyl no one will know the difference to plastcicard anyway... IF it is built sturdy enough...

That might work..
Lots of thin boxboard laying around..
Although all my glues at home...

But maybe..

open or closed drivers compartment? closed would be easier, but open looks even snazzier...
