Wonderful set up.
Did not realize that you have so many Chinese buildings on your site.
I may have to finish painting my Boxer Rebellion figures I stared in 1985.

Finally I might finish something I start.

I’m quite relieved to say that I don’t have any projects that old

Got the first figures completed, only several hundred to go

The banner isn’t wholly accurate but it’ll do for this until I get my own figures sculpted etc.

Stunning paint jobs and I love that Chinese village

If you ever fancy taking a trip over the Severn Brigade, I'd like to take your boys on with my Reds.

It’s called a jingal and was used as a small artillery piece and was quite often mounted upon walls or fortifications.

A peculiar weapon indeed, much like a punt gun I suppose!

Plynkes · « **Reply #25 on:** September 25, 2018, 08:26:24 AM »

The difference is that a punt gun is basically a giant shotgun, designed to hit as many ducks in flight at once as possible (not very bloody sporting if you ask me), whereas a jingal fires a single shot. The massive length supposedly is for accuracy and long range.

And yes, Jim is like a machine these days. Such productivity!

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #26 on:** September 25, 2018, 09:49:00 AM »

I don't see any reason why a jingal couldn't be loaded with scatter shot and vice versa (although a small artillery round to go duck hunting is a bit of an overkill

).

It pays the bills

Plynkes · « **Reply #27 on:** September 25, 2018, 10:04:17 AM »

Agreed, but I don't know if they ever were used like that.

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #28 on:** September 25, 2018, 10:18:33 AM »

From what I've read, they weren't but I can't see why not in a friendly game. It would just take longer to reload.

I can though imagine some enterprising young Imperial officer seeing grape shot from a cannon from one of the powers and thinking "That's a good idea..."
