Title: The Great Gun of Byklabad
Post by: Yankeepedlar01 on May 15, 2011, 12:05:51 PM: The latest addition to the Indian Mutiny collection ~ "Shaitan's Breath", the Raja of Rhanli's pride and joy.
Redoubt gun, from 'Wellington in India' range, crew from Foundry Colonial ranges ~ Tribal Gunners and Afghan Gunners I think. Painted by Jon White.

Reminds me of the opening lines of Kim:

"He sat, in defiance of municipal orders, astride the gun Zam Zammah on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher—the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum. Who holds Zam-Zammah, that 'fire-breathing dragon', holds the Punjab, for the great green-bronze piece is always first of the conqueror's loot..."
