It's been a while, I've had the urge to build and paint however life has been quite hectic. I have managed a wee bit of progress. I have 2 projects on the go at the moment.
Saxon light cavalry
I have around 13 finished now however I've jumped again.
As I have a whole lot of prussian artillery wagons on the go. Mostly the lovely Bluemoon vehicles with AB teams.
I've fallen in love with the little bluemoon wagons, a friend put me onto them and now I own Russian, French, Austrian as well as Prussian vehicles.
Here's hoping they do saxon soon!
OK that's me for the moment.
Happy wargaming!!!

Gorgeous Saxon light cav! Love the red and especially the wolf's teeth edging. Bluemoon wagons? The wagon teams look to have an AB provenance. Are the horses AB or Bluemoon?
That Saxon looks great !
Nice, very nice looking wagons Paul!
Just what I didn't need Paul - more inspiration!!!! :-)
The horse furniture on the lights is superb and the artillery park a great idea
Just how do you do the traces?
Thanks Jonathan, I've used AB teams with bluemoon vehicles. Didn't buyou any bluemoon teams. I have always played to use only 2 pairs on my limbers so as I have spare teams.
Thanks jacko
Thanks Phil!
All good stuff. It's a shame the BM horses don't match up to the AB mounts because they do do some nice enough cavalry. The team drivers they make are pretty good. Anyway, on the great day I manage to get round to my teams, I think economics will drive me to BM.
Thanks VB, 3 dteands of thin wire twisted through a pin vice.
Hi Gary, I had collected a few AB prussian limbers already and thought 6 horse teams for storage and to prevent the Base from bending would be a little overkill. I always planned to make my own caisson if I didn't find any. Thankfully bluemoon have. I never looked at the bluemoon drivers I'm ashamed to say as I only wanted the wagons.
Beautiful stuff there Paul. How could you not love Saxon!
The Saxon Dragoons are looking glorious, and the vehicles should be great as well!
Thanks Peter, it's just getting the time to finish something.
Thanks Rodger, I was asked recently why I spend so much time on an army like the saxons? They are a great size, they were tough as old boots and look ace!
Superb stuff Paul. Quality as usual. I hope to deploy my Prussian limbers soon! My great uncle told my father the Saxons were fearsome opponents on the Western front in WW1. He survived to tell the tale. Love your Saxon light cavalry...
As always magnificent figures, excellently painted! The Chevauleger Saxons are great with incredible details so neatly painted. Congratulations and cordial greetings from the far south, Carlos.
Some truly stunning work, Paul. I don't know how you manage to pick the detail out, you must have real good eyes
Oh ray your to kind buddy, need to finish them 1st. Might turn out rough. Eyes are changing now but still OK for the moment.
Thank you Carlos, will be a while till I finish the saxons I think. They have nice very nice uniforms.
Hi Francis, thanks very much buddy, I was looking at your artillery park recently. No idea how you did so many. nice story of your great uncles war experience. Frightening times!
As annoyingly excellent as ever :-)
Keep finding the time Paul to creat the magic 😉.
Regards Gav .
Ah SgtS your kind words never stop lol
Lol I'll try gav 🐷
Lol I'll try gav 🐷
wow!!! That saxon is gorgeous!!
Thanks very much, will be a while till they are finished.
Beautiful work as always Paul. Gorgeous light cavalry, and the wagons look brilliant. What kind of wire do you use and from where do you source it?
Thanks Craig, the wagons are sweet. I'll add stowage to the caissons once I get them further on. The wire is from inside a small alarm clock and I twisted a few strands together with a pin vice.
