Hannibal Barca

My dad was a student of military history.  He was a captain during Vietnam, and he always loved talking about military tactics.  One of my first memories of an 'adult' discussion with my dad was talking about the genius that was Hannibal, and I remember him drawing out the Battle Of Cannae and the tactics of the day - it made quite an impression on a 10 year old!  From that moment on, Ive always been interested in Carthage and its battles against Rome.

I have no doubt he would have loved this model.  This one is for you, Dad.




 
One of my crowning achievements to date has to be this shield...
