Luuk + bunkers

‘You are not even allowed into most of them’

Luuk van Wissen, caretaker at Van Hall Larenstein in Velp, likes making models. It started with model aeroplanes, and now he has graduated to scale models of World War II bunkers. 'My father demolished them after the war.'
His chef d'oeuvre is Tower 4, a concrete monstrosity at Cap Gris Nez near Calais. The model is made of polystyrene. 'Leftovers from the school. Great material, light and easy to work with. Piece of cake for me.'
