This scenic set, 53012 Field Fortifications, is a must-have for any military enthusiast or collector.
Military engineering, the oldest of the engineering arts, was the precursor of the profession of civil engineering. This set includes everything needed to construct fortifications, roads, bridges, camouflaging positions, and more. These tasks were the province of military engineers, who were often at the forefront of any military force and were known as 'pioneers.' Their main weapons were the pick, axe, and shovel.
Included in this set are four wicker gabions, which were used to create protection for siege guns and forward troops. These pre-woven cylinders were lightweight and could be easily carried in the ammunition train to be brought up to the front lines. Once there, the engineers would fill them with earth and rock, creating a sturdy barrier. This 1/30 scale set has a matte finish and includes 9 pieces in total.
Experience the history and precision of military engineering with this Field Fortifications set. Perfect for dioramas, displays, or imaginative play, this set is a great addition to any collection. Order now from Breagan's and add this unique and detailed set to your collection today.
