Cossack War Wagons (WIP)

Finished building 6 cossack war wagons for my 40mm collection (made from cardboard, hibachi skewers and Lego wheels). Finished off with mounts for swivel guns made out of plasticard. 


I have enough Lego wheels

Making flags....

 I needed some flags for the next foot regiment I'm working on, I've been using some from a booklet on the Saxon TYW army - the chosen flags did not scan very well so I printed them out on 160gm paper to use as templates to paint over.  An afternoon of something like 'painting by numbers', very therapeutic.

The large versions will be scanned in, cropped, reduced and flags made to printed about a third of the size of the painted originals.
