Medieval armies on the march had a baggage Train with camp followers…so I´ve started a camp follower Project link

47 hits at this point and not one comment? Paul, nice concept and mods/conversions. I particularly like the goat conversion. Well done.

I've been deliberating on where I might find 54mm limbers for my Ottoman Turkish artillery. Your technique may provide me a scratch-build solution. Certainly worth a try. Thank you.

Thanks :-D @ dBerczerk. I reckon it would. For thicker parts (beams etc) you could layer strips glued together. I´m thinking of building a 1/56th scale Trebuchet out of plastic. one that actually works. To get the thickness and length I´ll have to layer and overlap pieces of CD casing. Wood was too unstable (the joins weren´t strong enough) on the test version, especially for the thinner parts and other glueable Plastics I´ve looked at are too sof/ pliable On a larger scale the Wood effect could be more easily reproduced by sanding the surface to rough it up then scoring the pattern.
