Thanks guys.


Ian - Rather me than Ron. He's still got dozens of little guys to do for his Rourke's Drift dio. I've only got another half a dozen to go.


I'll probably put these on a little dio base when they're done. If I make it the same size as the bombard I did last year, I may end up combining the two into something bigger. Maybe.

I never knew you could get models of this sort of thing.Is it war gaming stuff?.

This particular set is part of Zvezda's 'Age of Battles' wargames. They have several types of wargame;

I have no interest in wargames as such Dave, but I have to say the quality of their 1/72 figures is excellent and you can use them with any suitable kits in dios. They produce a huge range and you'll find reviews here:

This is called a Serpentine (supposedly due to its resemblance to a snake although I can't see it myself):

I've drilled out the barrel but there's still a bit of fettling needed to clean up the joins - it's only dry fit together at the moment.
