The Supply Train

Here is our collection of porters, water-bearers, dhoolies, camels, oxen and our (so far) sole wagon. They are all pictured below in a supply train of sorts with a small British escort and mounted officer. We have two Front Rank four wheeled ammunition wagons and two Front rank medieval wagons to be painted and added to the collection, along with more Foundry oxen and porters.

Of particular note is the new cloth they are all on, which I picked up from a Bunnings hardware store. It was the plainest and largest I could find and for $17.95 was pretty good value. It is actually meant to be a painters drop cloth and was even made in India. Authentic! My biggest concern is the uniform color, which compared to our usual sheet is quite obvious. I do hope to remedy the blandness by copying the Lardies' own Sharp Practice tables with sand, grit, stones and Woodland Scenics bits.
