Cossacks - command stands and wagons.....

Three additional command stands completed....

The war wagons finished

There are 6 'war wagons' (plus another 9, not shown, to make up a wagon fort)

 

Cossack Army build - casting complete...

All the casting for the Cossack army is now done (plus a few sundry spares)....

Used the game table to sort the castings into infantry and cavalry units ...

Cossack Army Build begins....

 A tick sheet spreadsheet has been created to record progress for all the planned units ..

I have a few things completed already plus some stuff to paint; a lot of castings need to be produced to provide all the figures I need. Today I got off to a good start, spending time at the casting table in the garage. I have plenty of metal (donated old figures and leftover pouring reservoirs).

Three moulds on the go today to cast cossack infantry figures... 

managed to get about 90 figures cast today, still lots to do....

Cossack Wagons (WIP) update...

 Horse teams for six war wagons cast and prepped ready for painting...

Crew to man the war wagons also ready for painting...

Cossack Peasant Mob... (WIP)

Armed with mostly farm implements (from Bicorne Miniatures) and a few swords; figures are mostly my home-casts and a few Irregular Miniatures ....

I've also cast a rider to check for fit on my draft horses; plus how they work with the wagons I've made.

Wagons ....

I've finished building the extra wagons and used up my supply of lego wheels..

ALl finished and ready for painting. There are 9 of these higher sided ones, some with cannon for 'war wagons'

With 4 of these for general transport

Enough wagons to represent part of a wagon tabor/camp to be defended as part of a game scenario...or for a 'on the move' game...

Cossack wagons (again)....

The last time I did anything with these was Nov'24; trying to clear up paused (if somewhat forgotten projects) I thought I better get on and finish building them.

I thought it a good idea to scan my detailed (?) design notes, so I could possibly re-create more at a later date....

Constucting three more (cardboard, hibachi skewers and Lego wheels)

I have enough wheels for 4 more wagons, I'll use them up. Better more than less 😀
