Introduction

Bunker 33 - destroyed is a hard foam tabletop-terrain model from Ziterdes, in cooperation with scenery masters NOCH. While scaled for 25-28mm, this bunker is versatile and is only limited in scale by the imagination of the modeler. Bunker 33 - Destroyed is item 12052.

Ziterdes tells us:

The destroyed steel bunker 33 can be perfectly combined with the grave positions and trenches. The bunker makes your gaming table to a special place. The kind and form of the building stands representative of the "where" of the action - the battle. So the characteristic buildings are on your gaming table more impresive the overall impression, as more varying, diversify, and artful the game. By the way: In addition to the function as an obstacle buildings are also perfect for a mission

The Model

Bunker 33 - destroyed is made of hard foam. While this is rigid hard foam, it can be manipulated with heat. The foam is otherwise very tough yet very light, more so than resin or ceramic. It can be easily cut, ground and honed, and painted.

These models are made to stand alone or be joined with related models and incorporated into larger dioramas.

Bunker 33 is packaged in a bag that is glued to a card backing. The model is cast as a single piece with dark hard foam. The top is spraypainted with earth and gray colors. Bunker 33 has a footprint of 200 mm by 180 mm by 60 mm (7 7/8 by 7 5/16 by 2 3/8 inches).

No instructions are provided - but why would there be?

Detail

Casting captures a lot of authentic surface detail: dirt; concrete; wood grain. Plenty of gravel and debris is scattered around.

Static grass, foam ground cover, and other detritus can enhance the surface detail, if one desires to do so.

Scale

This bunker is scaled to the common fantasy wargaming, skirmish-level, science fiction, and role-playing scale of 25-28mm; that is 1/64 (S gauge for model railroading). I think it can convincingly host a range of scales, up to 1/32. Smaller scales get swallowed up and yet I provided models down to 25-28mm for your consideration.

Conclusion

Bunker 33 - Destroyed makes a good impression upon me. I think the scaling is versatile and can imagine plenty of uses for it whether sci-fi or fantasy gaming, or static military modeling. It can be a versatile model.

This Ziterdes product looks good and I look forward to examining more. Recommended.
