Toyland Army Heavy Guns

My Toyland Toy Soldier Army Artillery is 12 light cannons and 4 heavy artillery.
The heavy artillery is from Eagle Games.
Three batteries of four guns make up the mass of artillery.
And then four guns of one battery of heavy artillery.
All of them will be mounted on little bases including the gun and crew.

Toyland Army Artillery

For some time I have been working one some mild fantasy armies.
This one is supposed to represent the Toy Soldier army from the movies Babes in Toyland, both the Disney and Laurel & Hardy versions.
I am using Hat Napoleonic figures from most of the components of these armies.
My present intent is that they have minimal crews, perhaps four figures.  I got a number of Christmas buildings that have a Santa Claus look to them.  I also have been working on a model of Disneyland in California.  They run a parade every night that includes cast members marching in the parade that represent the toy soldiers from that Disney movie.  My thought is to make a Wizard of Oz collection that will include elements of the movie, Disneyland, Santa Claus and other similar mildly fantasy themes.  Mostly I am hoping to use figures and materials that I already have and intend to make these rather small armies.

Caveman Fix

The new Linear A Cavemen set comes with this piece.  Two Denisovan men carrying a small dead deer on a stick between them.
You get four of these in the set, which is kind of a lot.
But you can cut the deer off the stick and use it for terrain decoration.  Put it in the cave next to the fire pit for example.
Then cut the stick and trim it down so it looks more like a club.
Do that for front and rear deer carrier.
I think the figures look pretty good when separated.
They will work better in a wargame I think rather than having a bunch of deer carriers.
 I plan on leaving about one out of every four deer on the stick as is so that I can use them in games or set ups as needed.  It is a nice piece, and the others look great separate too.

Cave Entrance

Guarding the home.
Watching for the mister to return.
Hi honey, I am home.
Rock tossing.
Boring sport for spectators.
