Carroballista - posted by Russell Briatn, 9 Septem ber 2021

More work done on the Carroballista. Second legionarii added to each base and have added bench seats to the carts so the ballistarii can ride in comfort.

Also working on a family of Aurochs from Nic at Eureka Miniatures. More table decoration.

Plan to get basing material in the weekend to finish these.

  Very well painted Aurochs! Those are going on my next Eureka order. There are so many useful minis in the Eureka catalog, Phillip Abela put me onto this lot for a baggage train +- the jerry cans/herders. http://www.eurekamin.com.au/images/100CIV49.jpg

    Ben Vartok yes all sorts of interesting Eureka minis. I’ve purchased several of their animals and some Napoleonic vignettes.

  Russell Briant - looking good. What manufacturer are the ballistae, or are they scratch built as well? For a while I've had my eye out for a good model of the later metal framed version.

    Andrew Bennetts I’m afraid I don’t know. I bought them off Brent SP’s estate. Will do some searching.

      Russell Briant Many thanks for the links - they are certainly better models than the couple I have in the pile of shame for when I get around to MIR myself (maybe 2025 at current speed!) Good size for the carts and nice to see the metal frames rather than the wooden frames most models have
