Mine Carts (Wee Update 8/1)

[Vanvlak]

This is of great interest to me - hopefully, I'll be able to explain why.
Any gentlemen wearing a turban to ride the cart....?

That play area would be insane! You must build it or I may have to try it out myself!

[Alfrik]

Like the variety your working up at the same time

[Andym]

Tried a little primer to tie it all together do they don't look so 'bitsy'....

[OSHIROmodels]

Works for me 

cheers

Look great!

[Sinewgrab]

Beautiful!  A must have for those mine-based objectives!

And these will be available when?

 

[Centaur_Seducer]

Superb!

Should we expect another board for Salute 2013?

Just a thought on the Pumper handle cart.... where do the 2 fellows stand while working the handles? seems the space is a wee bit small?
 or a shorter handle?

[SBRPearce]

Are these sized to fit commercially-available tracks, or are the tracks Anisty-made as well?

I'll get them off to Ainsty in the next couple of days, then it's up to Andy.

In the reference pics I found, it looks like the guys that pump the handle end up on the very edges of the cart to get more leverage. It would be easy enough to shorten the handle if the general concencus thinks so? Otherwise the cart would have to be huge to incorporate handle and models! Personally I like it the way it is.

The bits of track I've got are from Ainsty Castings. I don't have any other track to measure it to bud! I don't know if it helps, but the inside width of the track is 17mm.

Conspiracy I say! Today I thought of doing some mine carts for my orks... And then I find this post excellent timing. Love the work!

I would say that it all depends on if people are expected to be able to place a slotta base on the sides of the cart or not.

First chance to comment on these as my internet has been on and off all christmas.

I was asked to build a custom set for a runaway mine game inspired by Indiana Jones. I had already got the one cart but needed to get another one and some curved and points sections of track.

Having given Andy a quick brief and a sample to work from of the existing cart he has as usual far exceeded expectations and come up with more masterpieces of modelling.

These will be added to the catalogue within weeks and I will post a picture of the custom layout when its been laid out and photographed.

Many thanks Andy, again. (if I had the money he would be full time!)

Just a couple of wee add-ons for this. The last mine cart, 2 removeable loads for the tipper cart(dynamite and wood) and a buffer/stopper bit of track.....
