More sculpting: Levy of Nobility ...

 I need to raise some more Polish levy of nobility for some games I have planned; rather than casting and converting figures. I decided to make new masters and moulds. It makes things a bit easier.

Three options for levy of nobility: musket, saber, bow...

 

I have enough mould compound for another mould, so I made some other extras; a Lithuanian 'petyhorcy'and Polish mounted/dismounted dragoons.


A final tidy of the above masters todo. I hope to get the moulds made over the coming week or so and trial castings done.

Removable wagon loads....

 
I had a rummage through the bits and bobs terrain boxes for some smaller items to use for wagon loads. These were stuck to strips of cardboard so they could be placed in as necessary.

They fit in quite nicely....
A small supply train .....

Tatars - some more added ....plus reorganised...

 While doing some trial casts of new moulds for my Samurai,  I cats a few more horses and riders to make up 8 additional Tatars; some converted with green stuff for variety plus some new standards.

The new additions painted...

I revisited the large Tatar segban unit I had , and made them into a unit of 12 to be some sort of generic musket armed dragoon

I've reorganised the Tatars in to 4 units of 12 figures plus a command stand.

Fun with flags....

Tarting up the infantry of my Monrovia imagi-nation, by giving them some new flags....

A couple of units get some generic flags so they can be used as 'German Infantry' by the Polish army


Three regiments get Swedish blue regiment style flags....

Swinefeathers....

I used some 28mm Warlord Games swinefeathers, to make up some bases to protect musketeers

a couple of usage options...
