 I applaud the decision to produce the lamp-posts, telegraph poles & signs. It'll be nice to have another option to scratch-building or searching model railway catalogues for the appropriate O-gauge stuff.

A possible new scenery product in the making... Dragon Teeth & Czech Hedgehog for your battlefield!

Will include different shapes of dragon teeth for various war theatres, both damaged and untouched. Czech hedgehog is highly detailed and true-to-scale. These are not 1/72 scale pretending to be 1/56 terrain pieces, specially made for diorama and gaming table use!

Will include dragon teeth deployment scheme based on historical templates with the kit when it is released.










Enjoy!
;)

Belgian gates and the other beach obstacles would be very welcome.

These do look rather nice though.

They look great . Scenery bits like these are always welcome . Nice idea to include a template for positioning the dragon's teeth . And a nice "dis " to those who release scenery  stuff in one scale and say its another ( no names mentioned )  ;D

The hedgehogs look good.

I am not sure about the Dragon's Teeth. It might be because I am used to the ones in the UK, but they look a bit tall in proportion to their base.

I am not sure if my local Waterstones Memorial Library still has a copy of the Osprey Fortifications book on the Siegfried Line. I will have a look.

[Edit] I hate autocorrect.

Pictures show lots of variety in D teeth and hedgehogs . It depends who made them and where I assume ( Italy , France , Holland , etc ) . Some look " factory" made , ie all exactly the same . Some look like they were made  locally in a builder's yard ,  so just welded together steel rail of various sizes ( no angle gussets ) and weird shaped and sized concrete teeth . And with such a great  variety we can use store bought items along side are own scratch built stuff without it looking "wrong ".  Being used by the Germans I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a list of sizes and types with sub marks for rebuilds and variations in each theater  , just like their armored vehicles  ::)

Is that a British para in amongst the tank traps?
Where does that figure come from? :)

With the new City Wall getting released soon, here is another related scenery project - Industrial Wall...
Very much similar in concept with the city wall set, it gives modellers as well as gamers an alternate option for their diorama and scenery piece settings!















Enjoy!

They look good.

I do wonder about the "bond", is the wall a single brick thickness?

Very nice. The hedgehogs look good. I have a pack of AT Obstacles from Warlord, but they only have four hedgehogs in a box - a bit stingy.
