Hi guys, I'm currently putting together a table for Ronin based around a small hamlet of subsistence farmers. I've got a large plowed field, soon to be planted with either cabbages or kabocha, but that leaves me with an issue that I can't leave unanswered on the board- how did they plough the field?

Which brings me to my question for you guys- does anyone have any reference materials for larger Japanese farm implements? Ideally it needs to be a man-powered plough, not an animal drawn as I don't want my farmers to have access to horses/cows etc.

As a side question, does anyone know of any suppliers for 28mm scale rustic brooms, shovels, rakes etc? The sort of clutter one might find around a farmstead.

Thanks guys,
Alex

Some basic tools can be found http://www.thebattleforge.co.uk/engineer-pioneer-farm-tools-80-p.asp

They also have sacks etc but they are not cheap...

Nice find, thank you. I can use one or two of those realistically for my setting.

Joroas, are those still available?
I seem to have missed them on the Perry site.
Thanks.

Thank you Joroas! I already have the rice bale barricades and the villagers, but I had forgotten about the peasants with farm implements. Do you know if the 'weapons' are separate componants to the bodies by any chance?

It looks like they are..

Awesome! That's just the sprue for me

Its not a plow, but 4Ground Terrain makes laser cut Japanese style farm carts that might make nice scatter terrain for your board.
