Title: A Civil War Winnebago? Update: Finished!
Post by: floating white bear on 02 February 2013, 11:54:47 PM
Getting down to the last few projects here for my 28mm American Civil War Union army.  (But some how there always seems to be something else!) This was going to be a simple office wagon, then I thought maybe a bed to take a nap or space for office work while travelling..maybe some nice wallpaper to make it feel like home...
There is an inspirational picture of General Thomas' wagon:

(Not sure why a photo, of a museum display, of an historical object, would be "all rights reserved" but I will just post the link here.)
Lots more to do on this one yet.  Then a gun sling...always wanted a fire wagon...Apparently Napoleon's Firemen of the Guard took a fire wagon to Moscow with them, but I am not sure if any Union armies had fire wagons.  Lots of "fire" zouave units....

Pretty great work.  The curves in the doorway and roof are especially nice.

Great model!  Funny how "simple" ideas start to grow ever more detailed as you go.   :)

That's some beautiful craftsmanship right there. Very tidy to, I tend to be rather sloppy with the polystyrene glue.

The basic colours are blocked in.  Needs highlighting and details. And a base. And more details... Regards, Rob.
