Tachanka (pt 2)

Hi all, here's an update on my progress (see previous post). Ive begun a second, similar, tachanka using mostly the same parts.

Following a helpful suggestion, I used some strip metal to cut thin strips out, folded them over to make the springs.

Here are my two tachankas, spray painted brown, ready to be painted. You can see, I began adding gray on the hats of some on the first (these will be painted over white, the gray beneath it will add some depth).

Thanks for reading. I'll update again once i've painted them. Before that, with some free time and a little luck, I'll share my (close-to-finished) Telefonica diorama from the Spanish Revolution of 1936.
