Into the Dungeon

CREA01 THE DUNGEON OF CYPARIS

There was a volcanic explosion on the island of Martinique in the 1800s. Everyone on the island was killed, but one prisoner who was locked in his dungeon. Four days after the explosion, they found him still barely alive. This new set from Odemars commemorates that historic event.

This is a small resin kit of the dungeon and a pretty good model it is of that building. I have seen photos of the dungeon and the model and they look very much alike. While initially one would think there would be limited value in such a kit, I see several uses for such a model.

Pirates games are very popular and one scenario is to get the pirate buddies out of prison, this makes a great prison for such a game. As a stand alone or part of a larger complex it should work great. I would also work well as a powder magazine. I can see using this on the Philippines as a magazine to store American ammunition pre-war, or Japanese weapons during the wary.

A little imagination and you should be able to think of several uses for this unique bit of historical architecture.
