Post by: DLIinVSF on 04 May 2014, 10:04:41 AM: Sorry if this has been asked before, sure it must of been at one time. I'm looking for 19th century 25-28mm civilian drivers suitable for carts, wagons or cabs . Europeans and non-Europeans for VSF colonial feel games.Can anyone one point me in the right direction please.

Warbases will be releasing some soon as part of their new miniature range.

Post by: DLIinVSF on 04 May 2014, 03:55:06 PM: Thank you gentlemen. Funny enough I'd thought to buy some of Warbases wagons/cabs/carts today. I'll hold off until the drivers are up :)

Others I've bought in the past recommended on the other post have been a little on the big scale to work for me.

Post by: DLIinVSF on 16 May 2014, 11:44:43 PM: I've just noticed warbases uk has posted pics of the new drivers etc. I can use some bits but I'll have to keep looking for something a bit more colonial for my Mars games.

Post by: DLIinVSF on 19 May 2014, 05:22:03 PM: I've gone back to my fall back position of seated gatling gunners from Rapier Miniatures but should anyone hear of any colonial style wagon/cart/cab drivers of any earth nation (or anything that could be converted in a convincing humanoid Martian driver) please shout out. I've used Rapier before but four all of the same type is a bit restrictive on the eye. :-[

I'll try to post some pics when the projects are finished either on here or on the blog.

The bottom pic shows the drivers in a work in progress shot.

There are quite a few pictures of the finished greens, eight so far.
I am finishing the last two this weekend and sending them to be cast next week.

I should get them back very soon, the quicker the better for me as as I need some myself pretty quickly.
