It's 1 ½" x 3 ½" x 5 ¼"  with lots of indentations molded into the
surface
that I placed the firing slits into.  The styrofoam piece I made it out
of
began life as the packing material that slides onto one end of	a small
computer speaker to hold it solidly in it's box.  The piece that held
the
other end is due to become a SAM site with the bunker as the control
center.  Both will make perfect targets for my NAC marines to perform
commando raids upon.

Speaking of bunkers, didn't someone mention they had done up some house
rules for their use and demolition in Stargrunt at some time in the past
or
is that my memory acting funny again?
