i am considering adding a Verlinden ceramic bunker to my model railroad. serious thought is being given to the Flak Bunker #120, Atlantic Wall Flak Emplacement #113, Atlantic Wall Observation Bunker #2621, or Gun & Observation Bunker #1652.

is there a way to determine the actual dimensions for the footprint of these models? i need to fit it into some already too tight real estate!

thanks

If it is about accuracy keep in mind that most of the Verlinden bunkers are from the fantasy collection and that they do not match most of the original bunker designs.

Check out this PDF. It is a really extensive Scription from a German guy. The text is in German But there are a lot of drawings in there of pretty much every Bunker used in the Atlantic Wall. And a lot of dimensions can be found in this document
Atlantic Wall Scription
Keep in mind it is really a Huge PDF so it will take a while to load.

Scratchbuilding a bunker is not all that hard. Just needs foam of some sort and spackle and you are ready to go.
