Three men and a Ca(r)t

Quick break from the New Model Army project

Again, three bods, Gerome, Kay and Jerome,  from the Zvezda Medieval Peasant Army set. The arms used to convert each bod have been kindly donated from other bods within the set.  

The Handcart was, apart from the wheels, scratchbuilt. The "stowage" is from various sets of stowage but I´ve forgotten which makers. 


Willi lending a hand. No wonder the baggage train takes so long to get from A to B.

New Model Army Pt 8

 Nope..I´m still here..

Sir Bodfrey´s cavalry contingent. All the bods and nags are metal and I think from Valdemar...the hound is from the Atlantic Davey Crockett set.

Who let the dog out?!

Sir Bodfrey´s and Sir Bodard´s Mounted Men-at-Arms

There will be a few light cav (turcople types)  and maybe a mounted sergeant or two later but now onto the Dismounted Men-at-Arms................or? :-)

New Model Army Pt7 - Mounted Men-at-Arms (2)

 Two more of sir Bodard´s Mounted Men-at-Arms. 

Both riders are converted..the one on the left had a head swop, the one on the right, well, the top half of his body,  was originally  on foot (top row left) but got a promotion. 
 

Now sir Bodfrey needs some Mounted Men-at-Arms

New Model Army Pt6 - Mounted Men-at-Arms

 

Small bit of progress. Two of Sir Bodard´s Mounted Men-at-Arms. 

Both of the Nags are from the   Zvezda English knights set, the one on the left has had a head swop and both had the printed Coat-of-Arms patterns removed, which was quite a job. I used a fine scalpel to remove most of the patterns but this led, no matter how carefull I was, to a scratched up surface. To deal with that I laid the Nags on thier sides and smeared woodglue over the damage. After it had dried, I added a thin layer of second glue. 

The rider on the left is from the  strelets  English Cavalry of Edward I set but he got a head swop and the other is from Valdemar.
