I'll admit this implies a fairly severe breakdown of law and order.<br /><br />2. Parking meter as a tool or breaching ram. It's rather heavy, so suitable only to resolve a local need. Is the orphanage beset with zombies, and a sturdy lever required to open the blocked basement fire-escape.. <br /><br />3. A weapon. There are certainly examples of small numbers of medieval troops with excessively heavy club type weapons deployed among spear formations. I doubt whether survivors could manage the discipline required to use such tactics - which seemed to be a response to heavily armoured horsemen.<br /><br />SteveHolmes11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17392212343858957364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-30678279268584378162018-10-22T20:38:07.275+01:002018-10-22T20:38:07.275+01:00As I said in an earlier reply, the embroidery isn&...As I said in an earlier reply, the embroidery isn't quite as detailed or difficult as you might imagine :-) .<br /><br />The Escenorama bases that I have are cast a bit thick - and they're a total pain to cut down to a size I like with just hand tools!
