At last I have my hands on the goodies. I spent some time putting together some spare masters. I have painted everything except the wagons and here is a list of how it is likely to be bundled:
1.Artillery 'A' Frame gin with block and tackle
2. Siege artillery/infantry screen with sliding doors at head height
3. Chevaux de frise
4. Coehoorn mortar / medium mortar + bomb / petard + carrying poles
5. Gabions (3 types) under construction + scaling ladder
6. Table, chair, 2 chests, pick, shovel and long axe
7. Large fascine rack with 3 stacked fascines, 2 loose large fascines and 2 loose small fascines
8. 2 barrels, metal cauldron, powder basket, water half butt, upturned church bell used as mortar for powder grinding and sieve.
9. Large siege mortar and shell
In addition, we have nine variants of large, four wheeled wagons with a variety of hard and soft tops, hay nets, tool boxes etc. These will probably be cast in resin for retail.
And also.. we have two sizes of completed gabions (currently cast in resin)
We also have the large barrel for the Positional gun finished with beautiful French style scrollwork on the upper side.
The work has been done using the illustrations from Edouard Wagner's European Weapons & Warfare 1618-1648 as the reference. The work has been undertaken by the excellent designer who brought you the existing artillery we offer in the range.
IT WILL WORK EQUALLY WELL FOR ANY ARMY/PERIOD/THEATRE BETWEEN 1600-1750 approx.
Pictures will appear here and on the blog over the next few days. I expect most of the sets 1- 9 to be commercially available from the mid - end of July. We will open this stuff up for pre order. The investment has been considerable and well worth it.
