Thought I better give my Boers some Wagons to fight behind in the Zulu Wars…. These are all pencil sharpeners – more info on the blog link

Those pencil sharpener wagons are great! I have 1 or 2 myself for my old west games.

Those are nice! Suitable for 20mm? They look a little small for 28mm.

That's great – will keep an eye out!

Nice work Giles – and I actually need a pencil sharpener at the moment so win-win Doug

The horse/oxen are on different bases – just need to procure some – as per picture below

I use them too. I also have the conestoga types for AWI games.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered a dozen from a Company in the USA for $3.50 USD each.

leidang, do you have a link to that company? Thanks.

Here's the same pencil sharpener for only $3.00 USD on eBay, but they claim to only have eight remaining. auction I agree they are quite good. I reworked, converted, and painted twenty for Zulu and Boer gaming.

Just checked that website – would never have suspected that anybody made brass pencil sharpeners looking like Gatling guns or submarines. Espacially not for use by school children. Truly we live in an age of wonders

Newline design now do a General service wagon for £ 6.50 inc driver and horses.

Are they too big for 15mm? They look great!
EricThe Shed	01 Nov 2016 1:22 a.m. PST
I think that these would be too big for 15mm – The wheels are 15mm in diameter
