Quite good for such small models, you guys are getting quite clever at creating these aren’t you.

As an aside from the compliments, I knew that an oubliette was a prison with an entrance in the ceiling, but I was under the impression that there was no specific size involved, one web site even says that it could also be a tower, which doesn’t quite fit with the idea of a dungeon with entrance in the roof!!

Also, I have vague recollections of once seeing it described as “a bottle shaped dungeon”, but I can’t find anything now saying that.

Anyway, once again, good models.
