Dragon's teeth, antitank obstacles in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Hauler, are a diorama accessory, not a kit of a vehicle. They serve to equip the scene around the main model.

A diorama accessory from the Czech maker Hauler in 1:48 scale. It is not a model of a vehicle but an element of terrain: a row of concrete pyramids known as dragon's teeth. It is used for finishing off the scene around the main model, for a display case and for a base of its own.
Dragon's teeth are fixed concrete obstacles of pyramidal shape, sunk into the ground in several rows one behind the other. Their task was to prevent tracked and wheeled equipment from passing through and to steer it into places covered by fire. They were built as part of fortified lines and obstacle systems, often completed by ditches and minefields. The concrete blocks were cast on the spot, so they have a rough surface, visible marks of the formwork and irregular edges.
Teeth look convincing only when they do not stand on the surface but grow out of the terrain. Mark a line out on the base, set the accessory into a layer of modeling paste or putty and heap the soil around the foot so that it passes onto the concrete. The row should not be perfectly straight - slight departures in spacing and lean look realistic. Consider whether you want the scene as an intact obstacle or as one already overcome, with a block toppled and the soil churned up.
Never paint concrete in a single gray. Make the base a medium gray with a hint of warmth, then apply a dark wash that runs into the structure and the marks of the formwork, and go over the edges by drybrushing in a lighter shade. Let the lower part be dirtied with pigment in the shade of the surrounding soil, so that the accessory blends in color with the base. Suggest moss and green algae only sparingly and only on the north, shaded side.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
