BSC2022 LordOdo - Here comes all the ale you want
« on: January 17, 2022, 01:27:39 PM »
As many can confirm, there is one thing in particular what a brave warrior craves during a rest in between battles: Beer!
The most famous beer in 28mm is of course Bugmans', but to me the official beer cart seems a bit small to quench the thirst of armies:



So, that's how I came up with the idea of building a bigger, and so better suited, beer cart of Bugmans' beer brewery!

First sketch of what I have in mind. Not sure yet what animal(s) may pull this big keg full of liquid joy & jolliness:

So, here we go:

I picked two coffeecups to be the base of the keg, cut them to the desired size and glued them together:


Then I was distracted by the 3d printed wheels which had come in the mail, and decided to cut them out of their superfluous plastic bits: (the croc won't be the puller of the cart, so it dares to come take a look at the proces)


Keeping up with the coffee corner bits, I'll be using coffee stirrers for the planks of the keg (which got its shape from coffee cups.. I think there is too much coffee in this post and way to less beer o_o). Anyways, to bend the stirrers in the desired shape, I'm using rubber bands.. but I'm now regretting I'm just bending them at the moment, and have not yet put glue underneath... Ah well..


Anyways, lot's of words and pictures, but not yet much to see yet. It's a slow start (but hey, at least it is a start!)
