I'd started this "One-Horse Cart with Open Sides" from Wargames Foundry about a month ago, and it had been sitting on my workbench waiting to be either finished or accidentally knocked off onto the cement floor of the basement. I decided I better err on the side of finishing it.
I've never been a big fan of painting horses (I come by it honestly; when talking with my father about his time painting Airfix figures in the 1970s, he's commented on how much he hated painting horses), but I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.
I think I maybe erred too far into pale gray in painting the cart as aged and weatherbeaten wood, but I'm not going to go back and change it now. I've got another cart, from 1st Corps, that I'll lean more brown with to make it less aged.
This will be a piece of scatter terrain and/or a scenario objective in games of Devilry Afoot and historical skirmishes.
I'm counting this as two figures for the purposes of the counter.

Looking really great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal! It's a pretty simple piece but sometimes those turn out the best. The biggest challenge was it didn't come with an axle! Thankfully I had an old pack of plastic spears from Fireforge Games that were the perfect diameter.
