Build me a Convoy!
Our Saturday game at Huzzah calls for 10 wagons, carts, carriages etc. I decided to see what I have on hand at the moment.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Shocking! Look at all that unpainted metal!
ReplyDeleteWell its the internet, one has to expect pictures of naked things...
DeleteTime to start looping C.W. McCall’s “Convoy” for working music.
ReplyDeleteI've been desperately trying to avoid having that go through my head!
DeleteI love wagons, what is it about them? a nostalgia blast of watching old westerns perhaps, who knows.
ReplyDeleteAhh possibly. That and vague memories of my uncle's hay wagon but I was pretty young when a tractor replaced the horses. Maybe it has something to do with chip "wagons"...
DeleteLot of usable items there - sure to make the ten wagons you need- all the best. KEV.
ReplyDeleteI need to cast up some horses but yes the material is there.
DeleteReminds me of “Two wheels on my wagon and lm still rolling along...”
ReplyDeleteOK, that struck a faint bell but had to look it up. Now its in my head....
DeleteYes, you can sing a happy song as you put them together...
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so helpful. I'll have to dig out some cherokees to provide inspiration to get them wheels on!
DeleteYour going to have to - "Paint your wagon" ! (just looked it up on You Tube - rather dated now - and Clint Eastwood - I talk to the trees !!! cringe !)
ReplyDeleteI'll paint fast and try not to think about it.
DeleteOf course, you could always make a few two-wheeled carts pulled by a single horse...
ReplyDeleteAh...you have found me out! There will also be packmules.
