This lot have been kitted out in the colour scheme I´ve Chosen for my artillery bods. (which I forgot to use on the Bombard Crew..DOH!!)

The weapon. This one looks like a large version of a hussite tarasnice from 15th century. They had a caliber from 5 to 10 cm´and had an effective range of 250 -300m´s.
It was fiddly to put together, the holes meant to take the stand etc werent fully drilled through (they had plastic in them from the casting) and the shaft attached to the Barrel had no hole at all. Still, all easily remedied and the end effect is very nice.

A fun Video of a Tarasnice (to the right of the Screen) and two Haufnitz (Howitzers) being fired.
Very nice, Mr. Bods. I do enjoy the vast variety of different sculpted faces on the figures you choose to convert and to paint.
ReplyDeleteI must admit the faces on these are excellent, great character faces which like Rays face means ugly!
DeleteAnother hit I see, the work as always top draw

A strange looking contraption and very well painted too!
ReplyDeleteI Like the history lesson plus the video! You might not see someone from the public being allowed to fire a cannon in the US of A because of liability!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, as usual.
ReplyDeleteV.

ReplyDeleteI'm a bit dissepointed. It doesn't really fire does it?
ReplyDeleteGreat paintwork again Paul!
