About the WWI German Machine Gun Pill Box:

World War I quickly bogged down into the stalemate of trench warfare all along the Western front during the early months of the war. Each side devised a system of defensive fortifications on their respective sides of the “no-man’s land” in between the opposing sides. The German defensive line, dubbed the “Hindenburg Line” by the Allies, was an extremely effective system of interlocking defense made up of a series of trenches, concrete bunkers, and regularly spaced machine gun pillboxes. 

Brickmania has created a model based off one of the more common machine gun pillbox patterns used by the German building battalions. It has a removable roof to access the interior, great-looking camouflage on the exterior, five opening gun ports, and a custom two-man crew for the included prototype BrickArms MG08 Machine Gun. Only a small number of this premium-quality kit will be produced, coinciding with the release of Brickmania’s newest book The Great War: Instructions for WWI models using LEGO® Bricks.
