Colonial Beer Wagon

After seeing Michael´s Excellent Water cart I had to have one myself..ok, the medieval ones got in the way but finally I have produced one for the Khandibar colonials. if..and when Hat releases it´s Colonial General service wagons and Oxen carts I will make a small supply train..which will never live up to the genius of this supply column. Some of the photo´s are damm near to looking real, well worth a look...(he said jealously :-D)
Even after a bit of work, the Renedra barrel still has visible misaligned mold lines. Still, they are cheap and Renedra do make some lovel terrain pieces.
Carriage from Zvezda´s Peter the great russian artillery set, horse from Airfix´s German mountain troops..bod from HaT

    Only thing I can think of on the misalignment is to shave down the hoops and build them back up with green stuff.

    This project is at least a 12% finished project. Sip some brew for me.

    Lovely model once again, although I think Peter may be right and that it should be tea in there. The British Tommy does like his cup of char!

    Excellent Paul and a HUGE thank you for the link too - most kind of you! The barrels really are a nightmare, I had the same problem; in the end I was trying to hide them behind all sorts of things!

    Thanks for the plug Paul. Superbly converted and painted with the benifit of being quite unique. Two great periods, medieval and colonial, I'll drink to that.

    And of course it would be an India Pale Ale - made specially for campaigning with extra hopps so that when it was stale it still had flavour. Good show Sir!
