French support wagons Napoleonic 76

 Here's a couple of  mdf wagons from warbase, inexpensive, really well designed, they go together very nicely.  I've based them so that I can use the spare draft teams to pull them or leave them as objectives in a camp for instance. 










Sprayed green ,wash of agrax earthshade, black here and there, bit of metal and basing, job done.


In amongst all those holiday snaps on your blogs, here's Toby on a recent local walk , it's down by the New River,  which is only relatively new as I think it was excavated in 1605 to provide water to London,  ends up at Islington green, there's a statue to the chap who instigated it there. Anyway , a nice walk at my end!

More wagons, terrain and  Napoleonic troops waiting for an outing after this!

All the best

  2. These look terrific Iain. They look like cast metal pieces. You have done a great job with the paintwork and weathering.

  4. They look great Iain. Good to see logistics elements on the table. Nice shot of the New River. Don’t really know anything about that. I’ll have to look into it.

    1. Thought you might be interested, apparently started in 1604 but over ran a fair bit, par for the course with civil engineering through the ages!

  5. I always thought the French transport drivers had some of the snappiest looking outfits, but never found a reason to get them on the table, so never took the time to produce a stand or two. But I think they do dress up the table well (as do these).

    1. Transport isn't the most glamorous but we all know how important logistics is!

    1. Thanks Norm, they're pretty good but there are some 3d printed wagons I'm painting up which are even more economical!

  7. I forgot that warbases do that sort of thing. I’ll have to take another decko at their site. Love the New River. Must’ve been King James / Charles’ version of HS2. Lol.

  8. They look the business, nice wagons and you wouldn't think they were MDF, really good. Nice photo of your walk, that is a rather nice bit of scenery to amble along beside.

  9. Nice work Iain and a useful addition. I sadly have some more limbers to do sometime in the future perhaps if I got some wagons I might be more motivated to do them ?
