British Type 22 Pillbox FW3/22 - WW2 Bunker - 3D printed model

The Type 22 pillbox was a small British fortification for riflemen that was designed and constructed for the expected German invasion of England in world war 2.

The official designation of this bunker was FW3/22 and had a hexagonal shape with a 10ft internal diameter. The people inside had loop holes to shoot out of and the troops were protected by means of a small entrance with an internal blast wall.

The loop holes were not made to any particular standard and took a variety of forms however they were up to 600mm x 600mm and were formed with metal or wooden boxes that the walls were cast around. Sometimes they were edged with brickwork. Some models had internal shutters of metal or asbestos and a there was often a shelf on the inside for a rifleman to rest his gun and extra ammo on which were often hinged

This is a multipart model and is printed in PLA

We have a handy calculator for resizing files for 3D printing over at scale-converters

It is designed for 28mm table top games set in WW2 such as:

Bolt Action, Chain of Command and Konflikt ’47. It can also be used in games such as Judge Dredd, Necromunda and Fallout Wasteland Warfare

The outside of the bunker is a replica based on plans and source material, the interior has been edited to make the insides usable at scale, the walls are not 2.5m thick to scale for example. The 28mm version has been adjusted to allow bases to be placed in all rooms.
