Title: 28mm Wagons!
Post by: Leon on 05 June 2020, 01:31:15 AM
We're reaching the halfway point of our '10 Days of Shiny' and for Day 5 we've got some 28mm transport from RedVectors!  

This lot are perfect for the Wild West and ACW, as well as the later 19th Century in general, especially the wagons.  The wagons come in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel varieties and then we've also got a stagecoach and prison wagon as well.  Finally, we've added some walking horses to pull them.  These are all around the £5-£6 mark and the horses come in pairs for £4.

How early do we think the two wheeled wagons (carts) can be used for?

Just after breakfast.


Spokes were invented about 2000BC, but probably a bit flash for a cart like this. They look pretty generic, and I think it would be pretty easy to replace the spoked wheels with solid ones which would make them more suitable for ancients.

The walking horses shown are 'saddled'.

Is there an option for the horses to be just 'draught'?

There will be...  :-[  We'd asked Phil to make us a proper draught horse and then completely forgot that it existed, so we went ahead and released the wagons with only this saddled version.  I'm rushing the draught horse through the moulding process next week so we'll have them ready asap.
