Very interesting project, first time I see this weapon in model form. Too bad some of your photos are too dark, more light allows a better look of the subtle tonal variations you made with the marble effect

Very good subject, unusually so. It begs the question what your plans are. Is more coming ?
I grew up on the Most defended part of the Atlantic wall and played in bunkers a lot With my friends . Farmers did not like us and we got busted at times !
there were many different types stretching inland over several miles . Most were demolished but there are important and classified historical remains. Mostly in the Atlantic wall museum Raversijde and in the Harbor of Oostende Belgium.
Keep up these amazing builds !

Hello Maarten. We had a similar youth romping around Bunkers !
It would be quite a journey to vist All the remains of the Atlantic wall from Norway to Spain. A life long quest and pilgrimage through history.
Keep up the great models you make !
