My new Bunker at last!

[BrianMcC]

Excellent!

You will probably be suprised at how fast you fill your "bunker".

I pity the squirrel that tries to dig in your garden!

I've been fascinated and inspired by people's displays and collections on this forum so I thought that I'd take the plunge myself with pics of my newly finished bunker. Hope you all enjoy it!

Exellent room John. I'm especially impressed with the way you've displayed the medals & documents.

Thanks for sharing these images.

P.S.

My wife wants to know if you do your own dusting

Very nice - clean, light, and in good arrangement
But I think MP-40 deserves a "better place", like some where on a wall.

John, where I can get the same wall eagle?

Hi,
Thanks for all the comments - glad you all like it! The link for the wall eagle is www.militaria-net.co.uk . If they still sell them they're about $250.00. The 'MP40' (well spotted) is a 6mm plastic ballbearing black plastic replica off ebay for about $30.00 that I've done a paint job on! If it was a real one it would definitely be out. Once I get my Infantry Officer's Greatcoat I'll set the mannequin up as a platoon commander and hang the MP40 off the shoulder. As for the Memel case - I've read several accounts of these medals being presented in red cases so I got hold of an authentic Anschluss Medal Case just to improve the 'look'.

..I've done a paint job on!

Thank you for the link, John ..though they don't sell it anymore

A display well done! Glass cabinets really works for awards. I especially like the positioning of those mannequins and MGs.

I thought I would do a quick update. I put my tunics together to see what they look like now I've got all the bits and pieces to go on them. The M36 and Greatcoat are both from the estand (thanks guys!). I'm saving for a real MP40 and also looking for a pair of Dienstglas 6x30 for the moment. Hope you like them.
