French Aerostatier Corps Balloon circa 1793

 Making stuff isn't something I'm much good at these days bit I'm very pleased with this French Revolutionary Wars addition in the form of an observation balloon of the Aerostatier Corps.
 I ha e the bits to try to copy the ones made by Dianne Sutherland in her recent 'Making Wargames Terrain book. I've also got Chris Flahertys book on Balloons in Napoleonic wargaming for a bit more inspiration.

    That is splendid Colin...
    Will there be bonus victory points for shooting it down?....😁

    All the best. Aly

  5. Quite a target Colin, if I was an Austrian I would be trying my damnedest to hit the balloon. You do know you will have to make a dirigible in flames.
