Beautifull job here.
As I don't know german, I tried with the translator these: "The so-called Gask Ridge system consisted according to the present state of research of four small forts and 18 watch towers, moved along the ridges of the southern Highlands of Scotland and formed together the "Glen blocker" system, the northernmost contiguous defense and observation line of the Roman army, which built castles and towers which were under the Roman governor Agricola about the year 80 AD around.
The watch tower shown here was built of wood and had to protect his turf from a wall, which were battlements made of wicker.
The crew consisted of a contubernium (8 men) of the Roman Auxiliartroops. The kit consists of 50 items and is manufactured in hybrid construction made from resin and metal. All doors and shutters are either open or closed, and represented all wood surfaces have a fine grain.
The kit contains two figures of Roman Auxiliartroopers.
The kit is supplied unpainted and in parts, the dimensions of the finished model is about 20 x 20 x 13 cm.
The kit is now available in the shop, the delivery time is about 1 week." link For tranlation had used

I believe I saw this on another site awhile ago but I don't think then a kit was available. As Dean said it is a superb model. Wish they made it in 15mm as well. That said I may write to them and see if they are considering that option. Thanks Armand |

The Baggage Train do this one in 10mm which I find ideal for 15mm use (I'm a 'one scale down' man for buildings etc. generally)
Resin – a little preparation is required but a good model. |
