Wagons Roll ...

Finished the three wagons I've been working on, seemed to take longer to do the horses for some reason. First the small 2-wheel 'one-horse' wagon
Next the 4-wheel big waggon, load made up from various odd large scale bits I'd accumulated
 and finally my favourite the 'coach'

More Civilians...

Completed the current batch of civilians,  they are more for the romans although one or two could be used for the gauls

Wagons - work in progress ....

Something is needed for the gauls to attack, so some wagons and transport are being built/converted (mostly using cardboard).

I started on a carriage using some toy wagon wheels as a base. I bought a  cheap wild west playset - just to get the two wagons in it. I used one as is, but with a seat added for the driver.
Further work has been done - the carriage has had it roof added and extra framing; also a small two wheel wagon first build has been completed using some parts from the other wild west wagon.
these need finishing off and painting - better get those civilians finished first I suppose

Gallic Cavalry...

Nice to get these chaps finished, they were taking up a large amount of space on my modelling desk (causing project stack overflow..)

Roman Gatehouse - completed

Finished off the gatehouse using my favorite materials - paper sheet and thin card (I had to make up the dark stone sheet with tile banding); the little windows are also images printed on paper; the flagstones are a section cut from a slef-adhesive vinyl mosaic tile.

Oh fuzz ! perhaps it need some gates too !

Roman gate - work in progress

A side gate for a roman fort, made from foamboard, initial shell walls on base (using rubber bands to hold together while the glue goes off).
With side walls and roof added, the shell is completed
Next phase is to finish off - will post piccy when finished.

Toga man ...

Been working for a while on a roman chap in a toga; he's modelled using a 1/32 Scaletrix style spectator figure which originally had a cap - the last layer of green stuff has gone off so he's ready to paint
