An unusual diorama subject from one of the small companies that specialize in niche products. Soldiers of the RA passing the time by igniting flatus. One man takes up a firing position using a Straining Bar for support and leverage while a second prepares to ignite the fume. A third stands by with a small roll of rough linen in case cleanup is required.
One of the oldest artillery towers anywhere in Langres, circa 1510. Grafted on to a Gallo-Roman city wall to guard the border between France and Burgundy.
The firing platform on the upper level is approached by a circular ramp that horses could drag the cannons up.
On the approach, just before reaching the firing platform is this emblem of faith in St Barbara.
These are a couple of GHQ micronauts I've had for a long time, slightly touched up to do "proof of concept" of a board and basing idea I found on ship wargaming websites. Good enough for me.
I really must not attempt to paint strake lines after three cups of coffee, though.
