Wagons Ho!

Finally finished this.  The ultimate challenge, which I put off for a good month, was creating the canvas cover.

PLW39 Covered Wagon & Ox Team

Same, but without the flash

The cover is created from tissue paper.

Fiddly, but seems to have worked a treat.

Bit of a before photo.

Before photo with packaging.

It was purchased in 1992 from Brookhurst Hobbies 

when I was in California on holidays.

Completed but not covered.

I took these photos as I was concerned I would mess up.

Good thing I did as I discovered I hadn't complete the driver's moustache!

The title of this post did say wagons, plural, implying more than one and so here we have three:

ACW Lead Mountain

Well, mostly ACW, but also a bit of Pony Wars, Plain's Wars and general Western mayhem.

Essex dismounted cavalry, 10 in kepi, 12 in hats including command.

Essex mounted, 8 in kepi, 12 in hats, not command 

and some other brand, 8 riders, 4 horses

horses that would be good for horse holders.

Peter Pig Range 15 "Western" packs 15, 67 and 77;

Range 21 packs 5 and 28.

Ten cattle

Seventeen townsfolk

Forty two gunfighters

Forty two riders

Forty one horses

Twenty dead townsfolk, gunfighters etc

Wagon.

Indian casualties, wagon, scouts and pony express.

The Stone Mountain packs I purchased in 1992 

from Brookhurst Hobbies when I was in California on holidays.

Sutler's wagon by Blue Moon

Two wheeled ambulance.

Both these Blue Moon packs were purchased last year.

Thirteen Old Glory ACW command.

Twenty six Old Glory Confederates

My next task is to do a review of my ACW armies.
