About this model
A single square timber post of pale, weathered wood with visible grain, standing upright. It is about 1 ft square and 7 ft tall, a slim upright that shares its square with other things. The grain and faded colour match old barns and docks rather than fresh carpentry.
Use posts to hold up porches, stable roofs, mine galleries, market awnings and dock walkways, or as hitching posts and whipping posts in a town square. A single post offers little cover, but a line of them suggests a structure and breaks up open floor. They are also handy anchors for ropes, chains and prisoners.
Ideas for the table
- A prisoner chained to a post in the town square is due to be flogged, and the crowd is restless.
- Rotten timber posts hold up a mine gallery that will collapse if the fight gets too lively.
- A bounty notice nailed to a post near the docks carries a face the party recognises.
