All the reworked Pontoon stuff is finished; extra wagons, more pontoons, improved deck sections and an an improved selection of pontooniers in action poses.
The uniform for the pontooniers is like those of the SYW Hanoverian army; I liked the light blue coat colours - just right for working on the water.
---oXo---
The first and second pontoon companies..... formed up ready to embark on a little bridge building competition.
The Saxe-Jarlsberg army is now complete; I've kept the uniforms and units as close as possible to the those of the Brunswick army during the seven years war. There are some deviations..
My game table is 7ft6in x 3ft. The fleece game mat that I bought a couple of months ago for my game table was a 7' x 5'; too short for my table lengthways and too long for the across the table.
I trimmed 6" off it length ways to give me a 1ft gap; then cut ~1ft8in off it the other way to give a mat 6ft6in by 3ft3in ; then I used part of the offcuts to fill the gap. There is an overlap, which has visible edge due to the thickness of the fleece mat.
That visible overlap......
The last unit in the Saxe-Jarlsberg army complete. Brunswick IR Imhoff joins the army; along with all of the converged grenadier battalion.
Some Eureka Saxon artillerists painted as Wittenberg army cadets...
New wagons purchased and horses etc - prepped and ready for painting...
Having spent three days trying to locate my pontoon bridge and wagon sets - finally found them the bridges had gone to the garage and the wagons in a small box with the most illegible label in amongst an stack of other small boxes.
So taking stock of the sets, one had some cardboard boats instead of pontoons, so I decided to make up four pontoons out of plasticard as replacements...
