Selected for painting at the same time as my Roman General , and of similar vintage to same was this arrow twanger and crew. It may well be that parts of the weapon are missing, but it still looks dangerous enough to me. Not least because the 'spear' being wielded by the chap in the foreground is actually the arrow for the beast!

Roman artillery?? That looks like a greek oxybeles,(squeek!! I sound like a rivet counter...sorry!!) I suppose it´s not unfeasable that the romans had one or two in their artillery park. Nice paint job ..I like the wood effect .

ReplyDeleteI'll take your word for it Paul! It's clearly under Roman management now.

ReplyDeleteThanks. The varnish covers up a lot of inadequacies.
Nasty in a nice way, whoever is operating it!

ReplyDeleteIndeed - it certainly looks the part - whatever it is!
