Finished the water cart for my 40mm collection, which was based on a 'O' guage model railway accessory and a spare plastic horse; thought the 25/28mm lot deserved one too so made one up using a Jacdaw french limber set for parts, barrels from the spares box. 25/28mm water cart on the left 40mm one on the right.
The Wittenland corps of the Wittenberg army will be having a Jager battalion, to start off the muster I've converted some spare 25/28mm figs (Foundry/Jacdaw), using some plastic arms from Perry napoleonic dragoons. The intention is to have the bulk of the battalion from standard castings plus these ...
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using plastic bits from other minis to convert metal figures.
The water carts are very nice, too. Gives me an idea - I have a spare 2-wheeled cart for a Foundry elephant (they left out the head of the elephant from the original order; when they sent a replacement they just sent the entire set. So now I have 2 of everything except the head.) Maybe I can make some use of the cart at least (can't think of much use for a headless elephant - if it had been 2 heads and one body I could've mounted the head for a trophy room.).
Those "individualised" jagers look very attractive - and I like the water wagons too. Splendid work. :-)
