I am looking for a good representation of chopped up sugar cane for my cane wagons.
I have looked at sacrificing an old millet straw broom but then SWMBO would have to walk every where.

Now ducking for cover and donning tin hat and flack jacket awaiting incoming. :mask: :mask: :mask:
It was not me your honour honest. :sweating: :sweating:


We found an old-type broom like that in a corner of the garage.... my comment to the Memsahib was "Oh, I see your Mother's left her bike here...."
Amazingly, I'm still alive and still have all body parts attached..... :devil:

Jon.

Now, without being too contentious, I hope, I wonder if anyone has modeled the cattle wagons used in WW2 to ferry PoWs, and other extremem unfortunates. Not as working models, but perhaps in a museum somewhere, as a reminder....? They probably WOULDN'T have had straw.
Just a little thing, in the Film Dr Zhvigo (bet I spelt that wrong) there was a scene where a POW was Shoveling out Straw from the Van the resettled people were travelling in on a trio to presumably Siberia.

Nice job on the Wagons. Straw looks fine, think with a bit of tweeking might be OK for Sugar Cane too.
