Woo hoo! My new miter/chop saw from Micro-Mark is in! UPS could not find me way out where I am, so it was not there waiting for me when I came back from vacation.
Expect to see me start to finish off the French, now that I have an easy means of cutting the spools in half to finish off a batch of shakos. I may even try lopping the tops of some game piece heads so I can simply glue the spool to the game piece (pawn), as Just suggested, and save even more time making these guys.
Expect pictures soon. : )
A blog about designing, creating, and painting wooden model soldiers for wargaming. These models are sometimes known as "craftees". To me, they are wooden warriors.
