on my working bench at the moment

As I had to slow down everything over the last weeks I will give you an update 
about what should get finished after Thanksgiving.
My next diorama will show two of my favorites: tanks and bunker!
I found an old printout from an internet page where they described Belgian 
bunkers. Yes they had bunkers too. Not that much likes the French with their 
Maginot Line or the Germans with the Westwall or later with the Atlantic Wall.
Besides the fortification of Eben Emael they had bunkers at the most important 
bridges and railways on the border to Germany.
So I sketched one of these bunkers with two heavy MGs. The bunker is made 
out of one piece of foam. The landscape is done with gypsum.
I made a mould so that I can use it several times.
After drying I painted everything with with tea!
Yes, I took tea bags and pressed them on the gypsum to color it. As I drink a 
lot of tea, I do not have problems with the supply chain.
More as soon as I have decided which tank will be on the road to Belgium.
So here some pictures of the unfinished diorama:
