today i added some more concrete to the emplacement.another piece from the same cast.was added to the underside of the bomb protection..i made stairs from another piece of plaster i had cast yesterday...and marked where the rung ladder and access hatch were to be situated....
next i made the metal rung ladder from bent lead wire...and an access hatch from balsawood and detailed it with some grandt line boltheads..
i textured the whole of the construction with a piece of heavy gauge glasspaper,, to give the appearance of cast concrete..it dosent show up too well in the pics yet ..but it will once painted..i then scribed and cut the access-hatch hole ..using my rotary tool..and fitted the wooden hatch in position..
I added a figure to better gauge scale...and put the rungs into the backwall
on the other side of the baseboard.. i started the rockface , i split pieces of coal and slate along the natural compession lines so they split easily..and fixed them to the formers with white glue..some of them were pushed into the polystyrene..to aid the sit..when i add the groundwork...
i carried some of the rock pieces over to the other side of the dio..to tie in both sides...
Finally this evening..a couple of pics with the flak gun in position and a figure to set scale.....After dinner im going to tap the top of the emplacement with a hammer to create some stress fractures..and knock out some chunks..to represent the poor quality of occupied workforce concrete..[slave labourours dont do high quality work and sabotage was rife].....ill post pics of the results later this evening..............D........
