Sarissa 1/56 Searchlight Kit & some TGAA stuff...
« on: February 24, 2020, 10:36:28 AM »
I picked up the Sarissa Searchlight flat pack at Little Wars a couple of years ago for a fiver and finally got around to assembling it. A searchlight has always been 'to build' list and having had good experiences with Sarissa's buildings I picked this up (it was so cheap!). It is a pretty simple affair and I built it as instructed and added a few hex nuts for details and cover some joins. BUT (in my opinion) building the cylinder out of multiple rings didn't work and did not give a good finish! I ended up dumping the kits light and scratch built my own...by the way I toyed with the idea of putting a working light into this but quickly came to the conclusion the effect wouldn't be worth the effort as it would always be used in fully lit games!

The finished product...


The Great Antipodean Adventure...the Searchlight in situ...
Men of the 7th Heavy Illumination Company under the leadership of Captain Edison with assistance from the Army and Constabulary deploy their Searchlight along MacQuarie Street near Government House...


More on the Searchlight and some Great Antipodean fluff for our next game including this Searchlight is on the TSOG blog...

Cool, thanks for sharing.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
