Very cheap as you buy the dowel by the metre! The wood is easy to drill and pin to the figure. I did the French FPW drummer for Old John who then cast them in metal, but have a lot of drummers just with the 'wooden version'. You can make drums of any size from 'normal' to the 'snare' style drums just by cutting the dowel to different thicknesses. The left over dowel is good for measuring sticks, ships masts etc., ABC Wargammershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14565259869932116259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285057281999389.post-13578761199189626042018-08-24T09:17:35.409+01:002018-08-24T09:17:35.409+01:00Oh dear.

I know what you mean, this diverted me from my 1866 project and meant that the poor old Mecklenburg-Schwerin infantry sat around undercoated for ages.
