The Pizzabunker is situated in a
fairly rough
neighborhood, but the staff is
well
prepared, unlike
some people who
think the Pizzabunker is an easy mark. You can call in for
delivery or show up
for some take-out!
Menu toppings include pepperoni, sausage, anchovies and depleted uranium.
(Every 100th customer receives a FREE complementary kevlar vest! Offer good
while supplies last.)

Overall thoughts
Wow!! A great twist on a classic LEGO set. I like how you stuck very close to
the model, but also adopted it to the theme at hand (in the battlefield).
Bunker Comments
The bunker itself is very good. I like the tan “burm” (the build up of dirt)
built below the “pizza joint”. I also like the .50 Cal gun mounted on the roof.
A very nice touch.
Not to overly critize, but I think that the set would have looked better if
the pizza shop was in brown and green pieces, made in a non-standard pattern
to re-create Camoflage. Also a little bit of vegetation or a tree to “cover
and conceal” the shack would have added to it.
Perhaps some shatter-proof glass on the front of the shop would also added some
realism, and/or have the staff don full battle gear (at least a kevlar helmet
and flack vest).
Again not to be critical, a shop that sticking up that high, and built of
non concealing white and red would be an instant target of RPG’s and
.105 mm artillery fire.
Delivery Track comments
This was another very nicely designed model. Way to adapt the vehicle to
the theme at hand. I think the track is very suitable for the battle
front. I like the gun mounted on the roof, and the knife ready to be used
to kill off charlie (that’s the enemy for you non-combatants).
The only criticism of this, is again the choice of colors. Camoflage would
also have been appropriate. The driver should be wearing full battle gear
also, and the vehicle should be enlarged to incorporate plate armor all around
to ensure the safety of the driver!!
Final Word
Like I said. I liked how you adapted it to the battle-field, very good
imagination and orginial thinking. One one hand, I liked how close you
stuck with the original model, on the other hand, by sticking too close to it,
the battle-field realism was a bit lost.
Thanks for posting it, it made my morning (or should that be afternoon!)
:)
