Hello all,

My current project centres on representing the d&d party I'm in. The figures are found, and largely done, and the horse and cart is found, and also largely done. However for the travelling home I'm looking for a decently sized Romani/ov wagon, similar to the following -

I'm aware of the Old Glory/West Wind one in the different style, but it's far too small in scale terms for someone to really live in it. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

The basics of the wagon and horses are pretty much the same (save possible tack differences that you can explain away in a fantasy setting), so I would buy a basic wagon from somewhere and scratchbuild the upper part.

O Scale is the one you'd want for 28mm... that's a nice find there, bandit!

EXTREMELY expensive, but really really well done!
yeah, google is the friend of everyone!

There is a British O scale train company which makes a very pretty vardo. Can't remeber the name of it...

GH00048 - Gypsy Caravan [GH00048] in the West Wind ranges for Vampire Wars?

Cheers for the suggestions everyone! I'm already aware of the Old Glory/West Wind one Poiter50, but it's an option to fall back on, though the lasercut kits seem to actually be less expensive. So far it does seem that getting a wagon base and scratchbuilding the upper part is the way to go.

I scratched built this one:

..and started on a round topped one but never finished it.

Nice painting there! Have you any pictures of how far you got with the round top?

Very nice argsilverson, I can see that approach working for me on a slightly larger scale. Where did you get those wheels, and if they were separate, does the seller do a slightly smaller pair also?

Fancy that. There's a prominent Gypsy group in my group's current D&D campaign.

Alas, we don't really use a lot of physical models, so never looked into it myself.
