Carriage, Gibbet, vegetable patch. You know the usual C18th stuff!

[Malamute]

These are going to appear on the OshiroModelTerrain Dorset smugglers display game at Salute this weekend.

I started the carriage about a year ago (ahem) and with the Salute deadline fast approaching I finished it last week

Its a Dixon Miniatures Wild West Stage coach with some modifications and a Front Rank Miniatures driver. The colour scheme was taken from an C18th carriage I found on Google.







We decided at the eleventh hour we (I!) needed a Gibbet as we had nothing to dissuade would be pirates, smugglers, sheep thieves and turnip rustlers. So I made this yesterday. Its scratch built from an old GW skellie, some balsa, Stryene strip and some unknown block which I carved to represent stone. All graciously donated and supported by JimBibbly and his Aladins Cave of stuff.



Finally a Vegetable patch,  Commercially sourced plants (railway model accessories), Cabbages donated by Flags_of_War and other bits and bobs again supplied by JimBibbly.



Now I need to get back to the painting table, I am running out of time to finish some other bits and pieces.  

[Silent Invader]

Wonderful! 

Your time spent inside Jimbibblys man cave is proving most productive 

[OSHIROmodels]

He's wiping me out of materials 

 

They will be fine additions to the table 

cheers

I love the vegetable garden, I'll have to try and make one myself.

[Belisarius]

One sight of that gibbet and I would,nt dream of putting my hand on your turnips , oh ! er matron !   

[Marine0846]

Very well done.
All the extras will add a lot to the look of the terrain.
You are a better man than I,
have had the Dixon Stage coach for years.
It is still in the box, too much trouble to put together.
Finally went with an Old Glory one.
