Charlie, what a great little project! Thanks for the write-up, most interesting.
This very welcome addition does add numerous opportunities scenario-wise. In fact, I start thinking of a cart train myself

Some cracking imaginative work Charlie. The gun limber taken from the AWI carriage is inspired. A lovely, simple conversion; of course the art in such things is in the imagination that brings the creation into being.

Great work on the wagon train Charlie. Your perseverance with this project and the results you are achieving are both most impressive.

These are brilliant!

I especially like the gun limber one. I like these little vignette elements that bring everything to life. I wish I could spare a room to have a huge gaming table permanently set up.

Baggage train part 2

Progress with the baggage train - a cart and the limbered artillery piece painted and based.

These two are designed to go together, the cart holding artillery equipment. I decided to put two wagoneers on the base, which I really like the look of.

The horses, cart and limber are a mix of Perry parts from both their Wars of the Roses and American War of Independence ranges. See the previous post for full details and my thoughts on how 15th century artillery could have been transported. The two cart crew are both Perry (one metal and one plastic), and the one on the artillery base is from Eureka Miniatures, with a slight arm conversion.
