Coaches & Carriages for 18th Century (updated 8th May)

[Eric the Shed]

Probably been asked before but does anybody do a coach/carriage for the 18th century?

[War In 15MM]

I used the ones from Blue Moon Manufacturing's Swashbucklers, Rogues and Desperado line (BMM206 and BMM207).  You can see them in pics 2, 5, and 37 of my 28mm Pirate Gallery at www.warin15mm.com/Pirates.html

is that 28mm?

[Malamute]

is that 28mm?

Yes, 28mm. There are two versions; moving or stationary:

Available in the UK via Old Glory.

There are sets of clear plastic "Cinderella" carriages that are sold as wedding favors.  They are usually very inexpensive, around
US $10-$20 for a dozen.  For example:

The attached horses are flat so they need to be replaced and they are clear plastic so need to be painted but they are a good size for 28mm.

Once painted the Cinderella carriage can look quite good

(source) though the wheels are a little... odd.

Warlord Games have an interesting Pike & Shotte General's Coach (OOP? Doesn't seem to appear among the P&S products?)

outmoded for the 18th C. but with a removable top and interior detail.


Though the driver and shotgun rider look 'cartoony' the Alternative Armies Londinium Coach deserves to be considered. Removable top:

That cinderella coach sure looks pretty nice painted up! Good find!

I've been looking for these too so that's why there's a section for this topic in my recent list of Gierburg miniatures (see at the end of the post):

Personally I find the Gentleman's coach from the recently finished Empire of the Dead kickstarter to be the coolest looking one. I also have West Wind's gypsy coach and that thing is really really small and the Mordheim Stage coach is kind of pricey.

I am thinking that the wheels on the cinders carriage might be changeable - the body looks great...

one on the way so will post when arrives

[Eric the Shed]

The Cake topper carriage arrived last night !

And...I am delighted for £5 (inc postage) I now have my 18th century carriage - it needs a paint job and some new horses but it is perfect..





Sorry for the rubbish photos...

Cheers

That scales pretty well if you ask me. Not sure how you are going to fill the roof in though?

[Eric the Shed]

Should have said the roof is hinged - so not only can you paint the inside you can also glue in a plasticard sheet.
