LM71Blackbird Posted August 6, 2018 Lavalette Cannon Battery The first order of business for the newly arrived visitors had been; in cooperation with the local soldiers, militia, and workforce; to erect a battery overlooking the anchorage. It served as a good practice ground for cooperation between the Oleanders and the Corla... foreigners, before bigger projects where started. Gun emplacement 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Digging out a plain foundation into the hillside and erecting a low wall, the new battery was well camouflaged and protected from enemy fire.

Keymonus Posted August 6, 2018 I like the idea of a concealed battery, and the execution is very nice! I like both wall texture and minifig posing. It's a little fortification, but probably it could hurt a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayrlego Posted August 8, 2018 Nice battery LM71, I like how the guns appear sunken into the ground. I imagine it would be quite difficult to take out from sea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted it to appear like it was dug out of a hillside, so I'm glad you like the effect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
