I know, I know....
Now these great pair of wagons came to me as part of Dave Crook's late friend Eric's collection, who sadly passed a couple of years ago.
I have no clue who made these solid metal wagons? If you dropped them, I think they'd go through the floorboards!
They're both identical, but I chose to paint one in green and this one a brown woody colour.
The Horses and Riders are all from Redoubt Enterprises!
That makes 8 out of the 12 wagons I'd planned.
More to come soon.

Nice additions Ray, they look good, nice little models.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie!
DeleteMore wagons! Ward Bond would be jealous!
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks David
DeleteIs there no end to your parade of rolling stock? Splendid work!
ReplyDeleteSoon Jon, soon!
DeleteMore fantastic work Ray 👏
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteEstimates vary, but the French took around 20,000 carts and wagons out of the Moscow region in late 1812. Twenty thousand - in six columns! The more carts the better for verisimilitude! Are they Old Glory? https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=FXE-21
ReplyDeleteThey look like them, but I don't think it them. Mine are in 2 pieces.
DeleteNice additions, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rich!
DeleteNever too much French wagons, keep up the good job, French guys need wagons!!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do, Phil...lol!
DeleteThese are some nice sculpts. Careful you don't pull a muscle picking those things up!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it, they're really heavy!
DeleteNicely done Ray and for this campaign, you can't have too many wagons I reckon!
ReplyDeleteThe more the merrier, Steve.
DeleteGood job. Looks like they could haul caskets.
ReplyDeleteYep, there's lots of goosies inside.
DeleteHow many wagons does the Emperor need ?? assuming he has not already cleared off to Paris !!?? :-)
ReplyDelete12, he needs 12. That's the plan anyway?
DeleteYou must surely have enough to carry off the entire contents of Moscow by now Ray. Great work on these as usual.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I will do by the end.
DeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt!
DeleteNice work Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteWonderful wagons!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexsey!
DeleteFair enough Ray - I enjoyed your previous AAR, but I was thinking, "this is all very well, but he needs more wagons"! LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha. Amen brother!
DeleteLovely job on these two, Ray.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Andy
Cheers Andy.
DeleteGreat looking wagons, great addition to a fine collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe.
DeleteAwesome work on these wagons, Ray. A sad way to come by the models, but you're definitely done them proud.
ReplyDeleteYes it was Simon. But I hope that Eric would approve.
DeleteThey make good barricades, Ray. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do!
DeleteRay another great addition.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine your table soon, Napoleon gathers his wagon train together and orders "Westward ho! and form a circle if the Cossacks attack!" 😁
Now wouldn't that look cool?
