Troop Portable Mantlet of Wicker
Description
I wanted to add a little bit of scatter to my siege encounter. I did a little bit of research to find what was done in the medieval times to defend against arrows. This is a troop mantlet used to defend against arrows. Wicker was a popular material for siege defenses as it was lightweight, effective and easy to construct. The wheels add further mobility which meant that the troops could move forward slowly but surely while semi-protected from the falling arrows. If printed and assembled right, the mantlet will roll with the wheels. Just sand the shaft going the length of the wicker structure until you get free movement. This does require some assembly. I have two parts for each wheel to have the appearance of structural support from sheet metal on both sides of the wheels. You will need to glue the two halves for each wheel together. Push the shaft through the structure and then the wheels will be press fit on to the shaft.
