I am starting to work on the War Wagon that will serve as the Stronghold for both my Russian and Polish late 17th century armies. I know most have painted their wagons just a wood color, but have to wonder if maybe they were painted some color like the artillery carriage to protect it form he elements????

Any thoughts or suggested on how such would be painted?

Thanks,

Terry

Illustrations, modern and contemporary with the wagons, plus modern reconstructions all seem to show them some variant of natural wood, from cream to dark brown and even a weathered grey.
