Post-Roman Ox Wagon Scratch-Build
« on: September 23, 2013, 10:28:33 AM »
Though I'm sure no one will believe me, I was thinking about building a wagon before Paul posted his. Here's my take on constructing an early mediaeval ox wagon. This is the first part of a set of builds I'll do to get the three wagons I need for Dux Brit wagon train scenarios.

There's a full build how-to on my blog here:

(warning, it's picture heavy).

Here's a shot part-way through construction:


and here's the finished article:
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!
