New Wagons

The bringing out of my wagon collection last post wasn't just a whim. I found a nice collection for sale; what's more the collection was in the United States, which saved me the outrageous overseas postage of late.

The collection was delivered today, which doubled the number of wagons, including 3 artillery caissons. 

The 3 artillery caissons, along with one gun.

2 new supply wagons.

New ambulance and ammunition wagon.

 

New guard shack with fencing.

The complete collection. The last artillery caisson is an old homemade one that came with some old toy soldiers a few years ago. I plan to put it into service. 

Preparing for Campaign

 Being  rather bored, I started thinking of trying to work on a game using 30mm semi flats. One thing I would like to work into it is using wagons for supply. 

I have several wagons, a couple that need some repairs. Superglue was used to tack the wheels to the hubs. Hopefully I can make more permanent  repairs  later. The horse trails must be reattached  on a couple of the pieces.

One pleasant surprise that I hadn't realized  before that an ammunition  wagon had a hinged top, allowing for access to the inside.

My Collection of wagons. If one looks closely at the second wagon, the front wheel is off it's  hub. For now it has a temporary  repair.
