| Well, of course I was going to look at making chariots for the Gauls... |
 |
| I literally used things that were just lying around! The chariot sits a bit high off the ground, any future ones I'll probably use smaller wheels - possibly Rose 20mm artillery wheels. On this particular chariot body the axle is a bit further back than I like. |

| Size comparison with the Airfix chariot. |
 |
| Construction... for the sides I just used a couple of pieces from an Airfix chariot. I'm not sure what the body of the chariot was from - either Khmer or possibly the 28mm AG/AB Range of Celts. Could even finish up making future chariot bodies totally from scratch. |
It has come out rather well, a whole unit of them would look rather good I would say.
ReplyDeleteAs something I literally threw together I am quite pleased with it.
DeleteThat is a serious bit of kit - like the Airfix one too!
ReplyDeleteThat Airfix one is truly Ancient - It's on two bases... left the original pre-DBX base intact to avoid wrecking it when rebased and simply glued it on top of the DBX base. Probably painted in the late 70s-early 80s?
