"This side towards insurance claimant".
In the dark days of the invasion scare of 1940 and 1941, British ingenuity was released to provide weapons to halt any invasion. Britain had amassed massive stores of petrol, in expectation of having to supply the BEF in France. These stores were made available to the Petroleum Warfare Department to develop uses of petrol as a weapon.
One of the weapons was the Flame Fougasse.

A Rubicon Allied Fuel drum was assembled and then cut in half. Each half was then glued to a Render 30mm base. After undercoating with Citadel Chaos Black spray the drums were painted with Citadel Castellan Green and dry brushed with Citadel Death World Forest. A set of numbers from the Warlord Games British vehicle numbers sheet was applied to the "top" of the drum and an identifying number taken from the Warlord M4 transfer sheet was applied to the middle.
