« on: May 04, 2014, 10:04:41 AM »
Sorry if this has been asked before, sure it must of been at one time. I'm looking for 19th century 25-28mm civilian drivers suitable for carts, wagons or cabs . Europeans and non-Europeans for VSF colonial feel games.Can anyone one point me in the right direction please.

Warbases will be releasing some soon as part of their new miniature range.

Thank you gentlemen. Funny enough I'd thought to buy some of Warbases wagons/cabs/carts today. I'll hold off until the drivers are up :)

Others I've bought in the past recommended on the other post have been a little on the big scale to work for me.

I've just noticed warbases uk has posted pics of the new drivers etc. I can use some bits but I'll have to keep looking for something a bit more colonial for my Mars games.

I've gone back to my fall back position of seated gatling gunners from Rapier Miniatures but should anyone hear of any colonial style wagon/cart/cab drivers of any earth nation (or anything that could be converted in a convincing humanoid Martian driver) please shout out. I've used Rapier before but four all of the same type is a bit restrictive on the eye. :-[

I'll try to post some pics when the projects are finished either on here or on the blog.

The bottom pic shows the drivers in a work in progress shot.

Those Rapier drivers look fine on your wagons.  I think you could get enough variation just by swapping heads and bending the whip/crop arm slightly. You could also add trousers over the boots with greenstuff.
Photos of my recent efforts are at www.littleleadmen.com and https://beaverlickfalls.blogspot.com

Thank you Sir, I'll go on the look for some period heads to fit and try to lower the right arm for more poses. Advice is always welcome  :)

There are quite a few pictures of the finished greens, eight so far.
I am finishing the last two this weekend and sending them to be cast next week.

I should get them back very soon, the quicker the better for me as as I need some myself pretty quickly.
