1/72 ACW Battery Wagons
Dated: August 02, 2011
Here are a few pics of some American Civil War Battery Supply Wagons I painted up recently for the wargames table. The wagon is a converted Napoleonic French Wagon from HaT set 8106. The front wheels have gone and the ladder has been inverted to form a forage rack. I have seen photos of such wagons with unit identification writing on them but this is beyond my moderate skill as a painter to represent in any worthwhile form.
It is on the large side for representing an ACW wagon of this type but went with it anyway - other options for conversion are the smaller Hat 8103 & 8104 Napoleonic Ambulance sets. The horses, limbers and figures are a mix of Italeri and Imex. I also painted up some ammo cassions at the same time but have not included these pics here as they were just Italeri & Imex parts - they can be viewed at my hobby gallery site if anyone is interested: www.facebook.com/drumandflag
