CSA Telegraph Wagon

I tried to find one already made in lead similiar to this one, but I couldn't find one so I made this out of cardboard.

  5. Guys, Thanks for the comments...Josiah, I found a sketch of one on the internet, also some of the wagons were this color so I just incorporated the two.

  6. As a wargamer who has trouble putting together ready-made kits for wagons, caissons, or guns I can really appreciate the effort that you put into this scratch built wagon. It looks great! Huzzah to you!

  7. Wonderful build cap'n and excellent photography shows off the piece to best advantage. The painting is very effective the weathering of the timbers on the wagon make it come alive, did you you undercoat first or go straight to layering the colour?
