The Town of Upsheet (Wolf?) Creek: Captain Blood's Pics!..... UD:28/09

[Thargor]

They look pretty darn good.  Are you planning on sticking a yolk on the other 2 wagons as well?

[Mason]

Looks pretty good Mason, especially for the price. Once you weather it I'm sure it will be a stunner.

I'm not sure what I prefer so far for stage coaches, (or if I even want one) the latest laser cut one looked pretty good, if a bit flat. But not sure it looks that much worse than the old glory 40mm diorama stage coach seen painted elsewhere in the forum. I guess it's great us talented bunch can make anything look good ;P

Cheers, chaps.
They are done now, other than the yokes, whch will be added when I know exactly which beasts will be pulling the other two carts.
I think that will be easier than attempting to make it the other way around.
The one with the yoke already added will be used as a stationary wagon, parked up with beasts removed, hence the yoke is resting on the ground.
 

Pictures at the weekend....

Pictures at the weekend....

Here is one taken quickly last night whilst they were drying....




I shall take better individual ones showing details when I get a chance.
Now I had bettre sort out something to pull them...

[OSHIROmodels]

Better shots needed 

cheers

[gamer Mac]

Those look great so far
Where are you going to get horses to pull them?
When you take better pictures can you add in some figures to show the scale of these
cheers

I wont have time to take better ones for a while.
Will these do for now?
 








I know they are just the same piccy cropped and enlarged, but they may help until better pics are taken.

Horses are from a few different sources, and I am still looking for oxen, mules etc...
There is a picture with a 28mm figure in the thread but I will take some scale comparison shots when I next get the camera out, mate.

They look great mate 

Are you going to matt varnish them?

cheers

The closeups show off the wagons to advantage...both look SPLENDID! VERY WELL DONE!

[NickNascati]

Mason,
            Nice work on those, I was very pleased with mine as well.  I made one into a Hearse.  I ordered the bulk horse sprue set from Wargames Factory.  Got 12 horses, they look fine to my eye.

I have managed to pick up four of the wagons & one stage coach over the years. I heartilly recomend them. Having assembled & painted a Dixon chuck wagon (which is an excellent scale model & VERY detailed, down to coffee pot, cups & plates) I know which I want, as a wargamer, the pencil sharpener every time.

[Thargor]

Very nice indeed fella.  I'm gonna be stealing ideas from here when I get round to mine.  Thanks for the inspiring thread.

Nicely played Paul. You were right, and they will certainly look the business plopped down into a town, with a few gun slingers taking up position.
Cheers
Matt

Cheers, mate.
Matt varnish? I dont think so.
They are not normally that shiny, it is probably the close proximity of the lamp on the washes that makes them look a little glossy.
Not bothered as they are only really 'set-dressing.'

Thank you, Amigo.
You are too kind.

Thanks, Nick!
I also have a hearse planned, it is one of the open back wagons, but I have to remove the damn ugly horse first.
There will also be a Doctors buggy type thing when I am done.

I will be checking out those WF horses very shortly.
Cheers for the tip-off.

I know exactly what you mean.
There are some fine models on the market, but nothing as easy as these when it comes to 'construction'.

Thanks, Thargor!
I look forward to seeing what you do with your own fleet of wooden wagons.

As we have a game planned soon, you may see just that very thing very soon.
 

[Gutbukkit]

Great work on those wagons. Just the inspiration I need to dig out mine and get to work on them.

[smokezombie]

Cracking stuff Mason. They look I finally better now, especially the stagecoach. I'm gonna rob that beastie!!
