McFarlane Toys "The Hatch" from Lost...

Post by normandy » Sat Sep 15, 2018 8:39 am

I've had this piece for a few years and didn't know what to do with it, so now its a two sided machine gun nest.
Still a work in progress but here are some pics...

I bought several when they came out. I made one into a captured Japanese bunker with the officer laying on top with his sword out and 3 of the Pacific Marines standing around. The wrap around backdrop adds a lot. Bob

Excellent use of this. I got a couple when they went on sale too.
I made mine into a Japanese bunker and a dug up VC tunnel access.

Normandy: My bunker is right out of the box. I kept the wrap around back drop. I just have the 21st Century Japanese officer laying face down on top with his pistol and sword in hand. Three Pacific Marines standing around it. This really didn't need much in the way of additional vegetation but now that I think about it I guess I'll add some lichen to the front. Real sorry but no pics. I'm just an old guy still running XP so maybe when this 11 year old computer gives up the ghost I'll join today's world. Bob

I hear you Rylau, glad your here...you go back years on ground pounders. :salute:
Looks good Razor with the Japanese or VC.

At some point this small MG position may become part of a larger diorama depicting
the Bocage or Hedgerow country of Normandy.

I might need a bigger space to display it in 1:18.... :D
