Managed to get something finished.This is a mobile forge from Warfayre, I got this together with a supply wagon, an ammunition caisson and an ambulance for just under £13.00 plus postage which I think is really good value, especially as they're such good little models. I've added a bit of detail for this little vignette, adding the cross bar and the rope from the bellows and the other bar and controlling rope and handle at the other end, the bar is some floral bond and the rope is book binding cord. The blacksmith is the first of my ACW Perry figures, an artillery man ,to be repurposed for Napoleonics, with a headswap for a Spanish head sporting a bonnet de police. The driver,water butt and crates are all from the 3d printed supply wagon I got from TaylorsfiguresGB on etsy , the mobile anvil was carved from a bit of Tamiya sprue, wedged into a piece cut off from a 1/35 telegraph pole, the hammer started out as a 17th century warhammer but here it has been turned to a more pacific use. the tongs started out as a musket rest!
Going from these references and the one on the Perry site, we get this.
I've got the smith having a chat with the driver while working the bellows with his tools on the tarped crates.
I had a lot of fun playing around with this vignette and it makes a nice supply, base or objective option I think? The summer of scenery seems to be going on for a long time!
More Napoleonics terrain and dark ages figures still to come, I might get bored and do something else!
All the best
Iain
