Foam sale at Jo Ann's (Make your own figure case inserts!)

Attention miniatures wargamers! JoAnn's fabrics is currently running a 50% off foam by the yard sale, good till Saturday August 24th, 2013. This is your chance to get a good price on a key & costly ingredient in making your own figure storage and transport cases!

In the coming weeks, I'll be constructing my own foam figure inserts to line a cool ammo crate I picked up at the last reenacting event. Stay tuned for updates!

Arming the HMS Sophie part 1

Having come across a good deal on a set of six turned brass cannon barrels at a local hobby shop, I am finally able to start properly arming my ship models. However, since they did not come with laser-cut wood parts, this means building my own naval gun carriages from scratch.
