Anyone know where I can pick some up?  A quick google was not bringing anything up.

TIA

They didn't have hay bales back in the old west. Hay was set up in stukes (sp??) and then put onto a flat wagon by pitch forks, then unloaded into the hay loft, by a pulley, winch, flat board and rope.

If you want hay bales, ERTL makes them, and you can still get them from eBay, other stores on-line, etc. Look for 1/64th scale. My son (with my help) bought some from a company out in Montana on-line when he was younger.

Good Luck

Ah ha ....serves me right for using The Red Dead Redemption for inspiration.  ;)

I will look for stukes instead...google seems to think that your spelling is ok.

Thanks

Frontline Wargaming had some (I know, as I bought some...), but they don't seem to be on their webpage now...
