Strelets Roman Transport 2

The second set. This time the wagon didn´t need any alteration but I did a head swop on one of the bods, just for fun. Again I´ve painted the set up in a medieval mode..which is pretty easy to do., roman peasants are similar to medieval  peasants. The two Bulls and two donkey/mules that come with the set are to be used in a future project.
The guy in the middle seems to have had a pretty bad fall!!!
Finally, I have a Bob builder ! (from the TV series Pillars of Heaven)
There´s a choice of either a stretcher with a wounded bod or the treasure chest. The bod at the back has had a head swop with one of Zvezdas meideval peasants. It wasn´t really necessary, the original head is perfectly suitable.
The happy couple. The baggage is , as always, toiletpaper.
The whole group on the march.......
...and added to set one, marching off to seek new horizons.
Obviously they have forgotton wether they have  turned  the gas off and are going back..to make sure
I´d like to give a head up for a new Forium, the American Scale model Manufacturer´s forum. The guy who runs it, Chris, is a nice bloke and the Forum covers all scales and eras..so get over there and register :-D

  3. That about the gas sounds familiar :-D

    You're right, they can be used for more periods, and you painted them up very well!
