Retreat from Mosow.....errr more French Wagons


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.

  4. Estimates 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

  11. Fair enough Ray - I enjoyed your previous AAR, but I was thinking, "this is all very well, but he needs more wagons"! LOL
