Elf baggage train WIP part 2

This week I´ve been to a sports camp with my son which means that I haven´t have much time to paint. But now I´m back home and have started to put the baggage train together. At the moment I have the Turnkey Miniatures´ elf villagers set, a simple mdf cart and some simple soldier´s tents.

I got mail from a reader who sent me pictures of a baggage train for a game called Impetus. They worked well as inspirational material and gave me some thoughs about how to move on with my project.

I decided to make a 6" x 8" cardboard base on which I will mount the carts and tents. The minis will not be glued on the base as I want to be able to move them. The base size will match the rules for a 2000 point army´s baggage train.

So far I´ve completed three minis and started working on a cart.

A tent (in base color), three civilians and a cart (in base color).

 An elf lady with a pet bird.

An elf woman carrying some groceries.

 A warmachine engineer with a spare part to a bolt thrower.

Two tents, the completed minis and a cart on a 6" x 8" cardboard base.

I am going to add an another cart (perhaps a water cart), seven civilians and a horse/mule or two. I might switch to present cart for another as I feel that the one I have now is a bit largeish compared to the elf minis. And the base itself will eventually get painted and flocked.

And to end this posting hera are some inspirational pictures sent by a reader. Really hoping to get my baggage train to this level.
