Stagecoach for Highwayman Games?
« on: October 06, 2006, 06:19:05 PM »
Does anyone know where I can get a stagecoach ( not wild west!) for use with 28mm highwaymen?
I can find miniatures but not a coach.

I have not seen them in a while, but in craft stores or places that sell items for weddings, you can find cheap plastic coaches, usually in clear plastic that paint up nicely. I have not looked for actually metal coaches so I'm not sure if there are any out there.

Redoubt has a metal one, with passengers for the Musketeer era or the ECW era.

Thanks for the quick response!

I've had a look at the plastic wedding coaches. They may be a little big being about 3" high, but would probably be good for larger scale stuff. That's an excellent find! I would have never thought of it!

The Redoubt coach is very nice , a little too early possibly but thanks for the heads up. I'll do some more research for the period.

I like the GW coach but can't find it on their site! Is it a scratch build or a bought kit?

I hadn't thought of it, but black powder era zombies sounds interesting...... Zombie Highwaymen......Your money or your BRAINS!!!!! :lol:

And yes I have downloaded the lite version of GLOIRE ( awaiting the main rules) and have been bitten by the swashbuckling bug ( rather than the T Virus) :mrgreen:
Regards

What figures are you going for I can only think of Outpost and Gladiator or using the Abbots miniatures smugglers?

I have fancied this for a while and am sorely tempted by Gloire but will have to hold off until my pennies are saved :cry:

The Foundry have some packs of Highwaymen and C18th civilians on their website that are new.

They even have one referred to as the "Dandy Highwayman" who bears a passing resemblance to Adam Ant. - Remeber Stand and Deliver!  Yes I am that old!  :lol:

Doing some calculations on this "curse you PM" if you went for Outpost the whole range and a game (minus a carriage) could be had for £34.50 plus the Gloire rule book bargain 8)

In the words of one of my kids favourite cartoons "tender"

I converted a couple of Dixon carriages to use as Victorian coaches:

I know you said no Wild West but after a bit of modification perhaps?
