13 bods (two as a pair and 14 if the Infant is counted) 2 oxen and 1 wagon.
"Is that a gladius under your Sagum or are you just pleased to see me?" |
Fits together well, although releasing the parts from the sprue and the following cleaning up does take a while.
As always, the scheme for attaching the beasts to the wagon leaves a lot to be desired, the pic Shows the set up as OOB.
Still, after a lot of carefull snipping and "spotwelding" (Holding a hot pin to turn the plastic on two pieces liquid and run into each other) the Cage and the Roof together, adding a scratchbuilt towing bar (metal rod heated up and welded to the bottom of the wagon) it doesn´t look too bad.
Seeing as there is no indication of a door (a good idea would to have been to add a lock and hinges to one of the pieces that make up the Ends of the Cage ) I´ve added a Piece of jewelly chain to give an Illusion of there being some way of opening the back.
Above and below the chain, you can see the result of the "spotwelding" . Now the whole Thing is fixed together I can remove Them but for the purposes of the pic I haven´t.
Seeing as it has more of a Fantasy look to it (it´s chunky design) I may use it for the Goblin Slavers
Excellent post, you have made this scale your own.
ReplyDeleteLovely work again

Looks like the wagon is from Planet of the Apes!

An interesting set but I didn't buy it because, Romans are out my zone of interest and I didn't see how I could use it for other periods or subjects.
ReplyDeleteWhy not Fantasy.... that's an excellent idea ...
Of course, the painting work is excellent like always !
Thanks Pascal. Some of the slaves/prisoners will go towards Fantasy as well, there are far too many for a Roman slave market (the poses aren´t usefull either)
DeleteFantastic paint and modelling work. Very interesting set as well.
ReplyDeletelovely paint, you've a special skill to transform Strelets figures!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining a few of your converting/building techniques I've wanted to know them for the longest time. I have a number of Strelets I like them but they are chunky.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting set. I like these transport sets and the WotR stuff you've done of late. But honestly I like everything you do.
