Boer Wagons

[Kingscarbine]

Hi,

I'm looking for 28mm oxen traction Boer Wagons. Foundry used to have a nice one but it's OOP.

Redoubt Miniatures have a 28mm Boer wagon:

Sadly there is no photo on the website. I have the model and it is a nice one, quite large (in scale with Redoubts larger/taller figures).

Thanks. Will check it out.

Sorry for my lack of specific knowledge but I can think of two styles of wagon in use by the boer (that I associate with them anyway) but I can't remember if it mattered whether it was pulled by horses or oxen. There is the one that comes up in a curve towards the back and there is a flat one with angled but almost flat sides that come off like wings.  No idea of their names sorry. Which are you after?

Some creative Googling and:

Voortrekker wagon (the one that comes up at the back)



And the 'historical boer wagon'

You know what, I've only ever seen them in old photo's and never compared them side by side before. Is it infact the same wagon but with it's sides down?!?

I saw this one last week, I think it looks like Dewbakuk's:

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of too.

This is identical to the Redoubt one. If I get a chance at the weekend I'll take a photo of it.

Well, both types were used during the campaigns in Southern Angola so one of each would be nice. I've found some great photos of them in use:

So does anyone have any scale plans for Boer Wagons???

I have a bunch of pics and some pics of scale models but it would be easier if some plans were available so these could be massed produced in miniature....

The flat Ox wagon is available as a great looking lasercut kit frim these guys

I've seen the 'sprue' that it's cut on and it's seperate to the rest of the pieces so I see no reason why they can't sell it seperately... I'd ask myself but then I'd feel obliged to buy them and right now I don't need them
