These are Dragon's Teeth for the Stolberg Corridor scenario/mini campaign game I am developing for Rommel. When I did my original research I was sure I saw some square Dragon's Teeth and having found some little cubes suitable for the 15mm scale I thought way to go. Now I can't find the refence and see only pointy Dragon's Teeth. It is possible the Swiss used square blocks, but I am at the stage of whatever.
The cubes were secured to plastic bases (cut from old CD cases) using PVA glue and then covered with plaster. Black paint, grey paint and a dry brush of some more grey paint (that doesn't seem to show) and then a brown base and a dump of static grass and I reckon they will do nicely.
Interestingly they show no adverse affects from having been varnished, in sharp contrast with the test strip I did at the same time (and will keep for a separate post).
Concrete cubes were used in England in WWII as beach defences and the like.
ReplyDeleteAh, maybe that was what I saw some photos of.
