Assyrian chariot - OK, Why not?

Try to complete it, that is. There were 2 red ones, so might as well go for one of them...

Two things though. Firstly, the wheels... replace them with Garrison. The axle on the chariot is wider than the chariot wheel hole so had to drill it out a bit. Second, needed to drill a hole so I can put a chariot pole through it.
Initial mock up showing 4 horse version and new chariot wheels.


Basic chariot - took a while to decide where to drill, then a bit longer to decide to do it!

One question - 2 horse or 4 horse? Original is based on Funken which is a 2 horse 3 crew chariot.
Having said that, I think the 4 horse version will look better.

Overall though I think it looks quite promising.

  1. Rob, thats a lovely looking piece, surely a four horse version would look the best and very Assyrian as well.
