Dark Age Four-Wheel Wagons

[Mitch K]

I’ve been working on a couple of scratch-built four-wheeled ox wagons. They’re crewed and wheeled for early medieval/Dark Ages but some pre-cast spoked wheels (from somewhere like Irregular) and a different driver and these could be farm transport for many eras.

The build report is in two posts, here:

The how-to is mainly in the two-wheel cart post. The principals of construction are the same – just a bit bigger with more wheels. Here's the result:


I converted my drivers from Gripping Beast Dark Age plastics, which I think has worked well enough.

I see what you mean. I hadn't thought of that...
