Okay, who's going to be the first to tackle this piece of military weirdness?

Nice picture A, where did you find this fab picture?

Yes it would be nice to do. I remember many moons ago a "Battle for Wargamers" series where 'Plassey' was a scenario with the mounted artillery on oxen. I think it was a Richard Scollins illustration.

Nice work,

Helen
Best wishes,

Hi, Helen

I found it in the middle of this fabulous collection of ''children's'' art.  I'm up to page 100 for this artist but there are over 50,000 more pictures available on this site, including some by Ron Embleton, Angus McBride, Richard Hook and many others.  You'll be there for days!

Enjoy!

Mike

Thanks A for the link.

When I get a little time I'll look forward in perusing through the various artists.

Thanks again,

Helen

I've seen it modelled with great effect in 15mm...

Quite a challenge in 25/28mm though?!!

Looks to me like a job for Admiral Benbow  :D
