Okay, finished up the two resin wagon barricades taht came with my Horns of the Buffalo set. I'm pretty happy with them. Again, cheap craft paints. Shell casings made from fishing line (I was out of plastic rod). Let me know what you think. Jake A few more pictures here: link

Holy crap, those are nice! Did you use real cloth for the mealie bags? Those are outstanding.

Very nice! The shell casings are a good touch.

They are all one piece resin castings. All I added was a bit of paint, grass and shell casings. They are nice pieces. I still have about 30 pounds of resin and wood, plastic and metal to paint before the set is done (maybe a slight overstatement but there is a lot more to go!) Jake

Really nice, Jake. Love the effect you have got on the wagons.

Thanks guys. I intend to keep plugging through all the stuff in the set. I think next up are the barricades made from crates and bags. Jake

Jake, I like the shell casings. Really adds something to the barricade.
