We previewed these on our Facebook page a couple of weeks back and they're now available on the website!  This street barricade comes in 3 pieces, each being around 40mm long, to create a 120mm long barrier altogether.  It comes in high quality resin cast by the talented Ironclad Miniatures and is now on the website at only £3 per set!

The barricade itself is an assortment of bricks, boxes, sacks, doors and even a mattress, so should be of use for most of the 20th C. and beyond!

More scenery to come in the next few days with some new Escenografia painted items!

Looking nice Leon.
I think a few of these will be needed for my new project.
Really like the cobbled together look.

There's lovely!

I think it would do for great chunks of the C19.

Very nice indeed.

Paris commune, anyone?

The mattress looketh comfy!


Sleep anywhere me!

You're thinking (courtesy term) of the FPW.

There is a chain of events I see unfolding here.

1) Pendraken release a seemingly innocuous street barricade
2) FSN sees the barricade
3) FSN remembers with fondness, "the Brothel in Rosenstrasse" by Michael Moorcock, which may, or may not have had street barricades, but definitely had a siege, and a brothel.
4) FSN re-reads aforesaid book, and becomes infatuated with a desire of some late C19 imagi-nations.
5) FSN drafts OOBs for 2 (or more) forces possibly based on the abortive early C18 work he did
6) FSN spends large amounts buying late C19 figures from Pendraken
7) FSN forgets to buy street barricades
8 ) Go to 1, replacing "street barricade" with whatever Pendraken are going to release next.

Another butterfly has emerged from a new cocoon.   
Cheers - Phil

Correct - the commune follows it immediately. The French army took over Prussian siege lines.

I did wonder when that style of mattress came into being, but there's not a lot on Google about that!  I said that pocket springs were a turn of the 20th C. invention so went with that in the end.  The sculptor had initially done the model to suit the SCW in particular (and it originally had a dead horse on top which Dave removed in favour of some wooden beams...!)

Wikipedia says:

"Late 19th century: The box-spring is invented to distribute weight and act as a shock absorber, thereby lengthening the life of an innerspring mattress."

"In 1900 English-born engineer, James Marshall introduced the first individually wrapped pocketed spring coil mattress now commonly known as marshall coils and founded Marshall Mattress, a company that bears his name and is still in operation in Toronto, Canada. He allowed VI-Spring patent rights in England where they were known as Marshall Mattress of England until the 1930s."

www.strobel.com adds:

"With the industrial revolution came the steel coil spring. It was first patented for use in a chair seat in 1857. Heinrich Westphal was credited with inventing the innerspring mattress in 1871. Heinrich lived in Germany and never profited from his invention dying in poverty.

It would be more than 60 years before innerspring mattresses gained a measure of popularity. Innerspring mattresses and box springs were sold throughout this period and had their ups and downs in sales."

Very nice.

Very nice indeed

Take care

A good call

Modern illustrators seem quite happy to include stripy mattresses of a similar design in Napoleonic barricades - straw filled but looking no different on the tabletop, just easier to fold over. Modern spring-filled mattresses, at least, have the appearance of having very little or no fold. Maybe it's a futon?

Imagine the effort of lifting a dead horse onto the top of a barricade! Fantasy +20 Strength?

Is the photo the whole pack?

I'm a little confused by the 3x40mm pieces. Is it a left hand bit, a corner and the right hand bit? So its 3 bits that make up one barrier?

If so can they be assembled in different orders?

The photo shows them all put together, so the three can be taken apart and put in any order you like.  Here's a pic of the three separate pieces:

Now you've opened a can of worms - people will start asking for two angled bits and the straight one without the mattress  .


No I wasn't thinking that at all
