The carts are surplus Irregular Miniatures that Rob passed to me a couple of years ago. I replaced the wheels with Prince August ones for a more 18thC look and used PA draft horses.
I had thought of having the drivers walk along side but had never really noticed the scale difference, especially for the larger HE and new 7YW figures. The sight of a driver pointing across a draft horse's back made it look more like a draft pony. So I took late 19thC seated drivers from Zinnbrigade and Irregular, gave them new heads and painted them in waistcoats.
The loads are 1/35 sandbags and are removable as are the drivers.
Pack mules are next and anything else will just give me more options to choose from.
Options are always good.

DeleteRoss- Nice work there on the Wagons and Drivers- things are looking very good to do all the wagons needed for your future scenario. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteYes hopefully have the minimum ready before March is done.
DeleteThese look great, a most useful edition to the tabletop.

I'm pretty happy with them.
DeleteLooking good , sadly my 40mm figures lack transport at the moment .
ReplyDeleteWagons and livestock in all scales!
DeleteThink of them as sporty coupes, as opposed to stodgy sedans! They look good.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of my little hatchback.
ReplyDeleteI`m loving your wagons and accoutrement. Ian over at Irregular Miniatures is a sound chap, most obliging on the phone and has done me proud for years.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post.
If one is going to stray beyond pitched battles, one needs transport and livestock!
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteI`ve had my eye on these Irregular Miniatures wagons and carts for a while now, but the photos from the site don`t give much away. Seeing yours has now definitely put them on my wish list.
