Baggage
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2020 2:06 pm
I'm taking a short break from painting figures (actually, apart from a few Zulus, I don't have anything to paint).
So I'm making some removable loads for various wagons (including the excellent HaT Boer OX wagon).
To do this, you cut a piece of cardboard the exact size of the floor. Paint it like the wagon, and glue on a selection of the various sacks, barrels & boxes you tend to acquire. Paint & wash.
The beauty of this is you can remove the "cargo" if you want to. With Zulu games, for instance, the removed cargo provides additional barriers for the beleaguered British.
