I haven't seen this sets on this site yet, otherwise I missed it.
New from Italeri: dessert set with well and Bedoin (?) tents:

They also got ww2 anti tank-obstacles set, this looks nice too.
Probably to expensive for what's in the box, but still attractive looking:

I think I'm gonna buy several of this last one.

They were announced in the 2010 catalog of Italeri, arrived just in time!



Compared with my personal production looking better:

Another just in time 2010 production form Italeri with new molds:



Now we can build a warm desert diorama with all Italeri accessories:

Exactly what we need, on Christmas time!

Nice, I can see good use for both sets

Very nice. It says WWII on the box, which army used tents like those?

Czech hedgehogs and tetraedhrons will be very useful.

Thanks Alois.
I was looking for the same kind of information and some pictures of German Dragons teeth.
I like to see the standard German scheme/plan for such obstacles.
Was the cube shaped obstacle common?
I never see it in pictures or in my own country, where the dragonteeth still can be found in the dunes.
Would appreciate it when someone can post a link for us.
thanks on advance!

Hello Marc,

I think concrete cubes were used for blocking streets etc.

Here,:http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/p4013coll8&CISOPTR=1500&REC=13
.....you can find very detailed document about German obstacles and fieldworks. Maybe you will find there something about such type of obstacle.

Some more pictures. First three pictures are from my own collection. Last two are from my colleagues´ archive.
