Took a watercolour class on the weekend. I've always found it a daunting medium but I thoroughly enjoyed painting this splendid fairy wren. Painting is available for sale if anyone is interested.

"The damn guns, their shells sound like freight trains coming at you. They fire day and night and I am not sure how long the fort walls will hold." - Captain of the Dolskan grenadiers holding a key fort east of the City Between Lakes

Somewhere on the Dolskan Front, a Sweger Empire's 240mm siege howitzer prepares to fire on a fortified position. The 240mm piece is mounted on a rail carriage, but can be decoupled into a prepared firing position for a 360 degree firing arc, as shown here. This technology ensures that the Empire can lay siege to fortresses and other hardened targets, from the enemy's perspective overnight. A siege like this can be started when a fortified position is encountered by attacking Sweger armies, which call in the Pioneer Corps to lay down rails and concrete firing platforms for the howitzers. All this can be accomplished in the span of a week, and after it is done the siege howitzers are brought in during the night, starting their bombardment at first light. Pictured here a siege which has already lasted a while, with the howitzers firing at a "sustained rate" of 4 rounds per hour with a crew of 11 per gun. Crew details include: commander/observer(1), gunner(1), loader(2), mechanic(1), ammo wagon detail/assistant loader(6). Munitions are stored away from the gun. So far in the Dolskan- Swegerian war, the 240mm's have pounded every fortress that they have encountered into dust, forcing many surrenders within days.

So, this was just a fun little brush/color test piece, related to this project:

This is the XPS version of my ported Normandy SR-1 Captain's Cabom for blender. The porting to XPS took quite some hours. Hope you like it and wish you fun with this scenery.

He needs to....chin-chill-out....I'll see myself out.
