Medieval double axle Transport wagon

Another two wagons for the Teutonic Order 1329 dio, also made by Fredericus Rex as part of their Greenline range.

8 pieces all made Entirely of resin.
The one at the back is missing a tiny Piece. Unfortunately I´d tipped the parts out of the Blister box onto my Workspace and I didn´t notice that a bit had  broken off until I´d started painting and by then it was lost.
Note to self;
Spread out and Check parts using a clear Surface and tidy up the Workspace on a regular basis so as to have a better overview.
As with the two  Kobelwagen, the "falling tongues" have been left unfixed for Transportation

  1. It's always a great fun seeing something painted wooden in your works...after all these time I think it's worth a "how to make paint look like wood" post for the not so talented bodders of us :)
    To say it clear: "especially for me!"

    1. Thanks and Happy new year. It´s not that difficult, honestly. My method is "quick and dirty". Some might say it´s not correct..aged Wood Looks a different colour (more Grey) but I came up with this quick way and if it makes me (and others) think its Wood why does it have to be 100 realistic ? :-)
      I´ll do a "how to" with my method ASP.

    2. I´ll add; I like painting Wood surfaces ..it´s not too demanding and the result turns up quick..much quicker than ages painting bods...the only real pain is painting the Wheel rims. They Need a bit more concentration.

    3. From this moment on I'll be extremly excited expecting this post!
      Wheel rims are horrible to paint. For this reason i do not like to paint coaches and chariots.

    4. There´s a trick to making painting the Wheel rims easier, doesn´t stop me not liking doing it though.
