Wooden Wars: Kublacon- first battle for Quark's Rivet As the sun rose over the British encampment known as Quark's Rivet, a cloud of orange dust rolled its way in from the great Venusian plains. Along it came a cacophonous clanking that could only mean one thing. Baron Bomburst and his army have come!
Phineas Bromhead Quark called out for everyone to fall in at the wall!" Lieutenant Grady, spool up the Tesla guns! Sargent Siggins- Take the Old Brassards and hold the left flank. By god and queen Victoria- make every shot count, lads!"
At Kublacon this year I ran 3 large Wooden Wars battles, two of which featured my Queen Victoria's Robot Wars models. These battles, based very (very!) loosely on Rorke's Drift, featured the stalwart British forces and their robots greatly outnumberted in an attack by the evil ruler of Vulgaria, Baron Bomburst, and his army of automatons.

I was a bit hesitant about these flats, but the do paint up nicely, actually putting the 'block' terrain a bit to shame. Focused? Look damn 'riveted'! ;->= Well done! Touches my grandfather heart. Doug |

Thanks for the comments gents, in particular Mr. the Beast.
Have you painted up Wooden Wars soldiers then? My goal of designing my Wooden Wars models is to create sturdy toys that are kid and parent friendly- Soldiers that become heirlooms. Zargon- My wooden Soldiers are indeed Plywood "punch out" (although I recommend a hobby knife for cleaner edges) models and I do ship world wide! just pop over to my webstore
skullncrown.com here is an example of a Wooden Wars British mounted officer on a "sprue"
cheers!
