You mentioned that you got the gabions from the terrainguy. I can't find them on their website. Are they a new product coming out or am I missing them in their catalog? Oh, and keep up the nice work.

HisLiege, another good option for gabions is the ebay seller "Daemonscape" ( auction ). They don't seem to have any listed at the moment, but usually offer a set of heaps of wattle-and-daub fencing plus quite a few gabions of different sizes for peanuts – 3 GBP if I remember rightly? I bought three of these "sets" and ended up with something like 6' of fencing and 20-odd gabions. pilum40, nice work! Any chance you could explain the role of the wooden fence-like upright bits in front of each of your artillery pieces? They look like retaining walls (like you'd see holding up the side of a trench) but don't have earth piled behind of or in front of them. They don't seem to provide much cover for the crews so it isn't that, either. Are they perhaps to stop the cannon rolling forwards, or something? |

Here's a direct link to the item I mentioned (note that eBay auction pages for sold items expire after 90 days so at some point this link will stop working): auction |

The retaining walls? I stole the idea from quindia.com The author of that site had them in his artillery emplacements. Hell…I thought they looked cool and broke up the monotony of the emplacement. Besides, they were fun to build and paint. Other than that, they probably have no purpose in this painter's feeble, aged,lead addled mind other than I liked them. :) |

Foul play, sir, foul play! 
The world demands gabions! You force us into the arms of Foundry!! Austin |
