This 15mm ancient Chinese square pavilion is based on several surviving examples, depictions and models. It is designed to be used as a baggage element for any Chinese army, and to fit on a standard 40 x 40mm DBM-size baggage base.
Traditionally, Chinese pavilions are small, covered structures with little or no walls, that were initially erected along roadsides in the Warring States era more than 2,200 years ago as shelters for soldiers. After China was reunited under the Qin, a unified postal system was established, and roadside pavilions were used for the government postmen on horseback as relay stations. They also provided travelers with a place to take a rest on long journeys and a shelter during the rain.
Like all other models in this range, it is made of tough polyurethane. It comes in a easy-to-assemble kit – the base and the roof size are approximately 36mm square, the roof itself is 20mm high without the separate top cap. The columns' maximum height is 35mm, but can be easily trimmed down at will.
