Market Stalls

newly finished market stalls....

Stalls made of cardboard, hibachi skewers, cocktail sticks and some curtain lining fabric. 

A mix of items on the stalls, some home made

The market square cobbles are done using a home made paper sheet stuck to a cork tile

the stalls are designed for use with 40mm and 28mm, a little small for 40mm and a little bit big for 28mm.

40mm - Trial casts from new mould..

Finally got the next 18C mould done,  the contents were
-weapons (sabre, straight sword, pistol, 17C musket and 18C musket)
-march attack musketeer
-alternate grenadier & fusilier heads.

Initial casts weren't too good, but the addition of some air vents solved the problems, some trial casts

the heads don't come out with full detail every time; will do some more and see how it goes - overall I'm pleased with the results.

Wittenberg river marines - transport barges...

Some of the boats for transporting cargo on the river Oudear have been purchased and adapted for the Wittenberg river marines to use as transport/landing barges; some are fitted with small swivel guns. The river marines carry out a river transport exercise near their northern base as Gugenstadt....

[barges as constructed previously - see http://tidders-kingdomofwittenberg.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/28mm-transport-barges-for-river-oudear.html;  using rowers from the landing boats shown in the previous post]
