Saker Gun

Another odd addition to the Samurai project. This time Perry Miniature's European Saker on naval carrage with Japanese crew and 2 large mantlets.  It makes for an interesting display piece and provides some necessary firepower to respond to the Korean Rocket launchers and organ guns. 

I used the same paint scheme as for the Oda ashigaru, but it is neutral enough it should work for Kato's division in the imjin war.  I added a stack of cannon balls from an unknown source to fill in some of the empty space on the stand.

I opted to just do a unit base on a large 12cmx8cm Impetus base as I saw little practical application as a potential skirmish model.

It would appear that the mantlets are at properly scaled to do their job....
