Pecheneg war wagons at last!

 After a full year of being in denial I finally admitted that the war wagons I had as WIP were not good enough, tore them down, and recreated them. 

This conversion uses

- a one-inch cardboard tube for the canopy;

- polythene foam for the body;

- Napoleonic gun carriages for the undercarriage and wheels;

- card for the armored driver box and rear;

- and masking tape for the sidewall texture.

Glues are hot glue to hold the undercarriage together and PVA for most other joins.

The horses are Airfix Napoleonic RHA, and as they are larger than the original pairs I found (and the right scale for other elements in the army) they only just squeeze in on the 'long' DBA base. They are joined to the body by Airfix French Napoleonic Artillery (there's a blast from the past!) limbers. 

Painting the latex grouting that I routinely use for basing over the wheels and hooves more or less secures the pieces to the bases. I don't think they will survive being dropped though, which is one of the benefits of using 1:72 plastic, normally. 

The bases were already discolored by the abortive first effort so look darker than they ought, but overall, not bad. They look menacing and I look forward to using them for Pechenegs!
