I have the wagons from Black Flag but had seen these from 4Ground and wanted a wagon with the canopy hoods, these are very nice kits, come with quite good instructions, a little fiddly (you will see that they only have 4 canopy hoods each instead of 5, damn my shovel sized hands!) but overall a little better than the Black Flag ones.
I bought the kits at Cavalier from Colonel Bill but he had designed loads to fit exactly and neatly in the wagons rear (lovely fit), so I bought the Napoleonic/Colonial/ACW set, not bad but with the normal resin issues you find like not fully cast but still acceptable as scenery .
Two Dixon cowboys to give an idea of size and scale.
Very nicely painted Fran. Lots of uses for those. I especially like the removable loads too. Lots of uses for them as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd very nice they are too!!!
ReplyDeleteGeneral, Sir, very nice work. I believe I see a small draw string cotton tobacco pouch in Cooky's shirt pocket. Looks to me like Bull Durham.
ReplyDeleteNicely done indeed, as they sure are going to get liquored up I bet
ReplyDeleteNice job on these Fran, also like the fact they have removable loads
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that old television show, that I barely remember, Wagon Train. Each episode the caravan would move on and there would be a new adventure. Sort of like Star Trek in a way.
ReplyDeleteYou are all set to go into the wild, wild west! Wagons and cargo look great.
ReplyDeleteVery nice wagons Fran :)
ReplyDeleteThey really do work well!

These are quite sharp, as are the two cowboys. Thunder boxes, saloons, wagons, saloon girls. Looks like you're ready for some Old West gaming!
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty good really and look like they'd fit quite well with your western style area.
ReplyDeletegood stuff fran you must have a great Wild West collection now
ReplyDeletePeace James
Coming to an end as well.
DeleteLovely job all round. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI have a soft spot for 19th century settlers/prospectors like that. Good stuff sir.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Sir
ReplyDeleteCheers
They look great, as always.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, I really like this work on the wagons!
ReplyDeletePhil.
Really impressed by those, might have to go on the wish list for Salute. Great job Francis.
ReplyDeleteLooking good mate! Really like them, and the cowboys are also nice! :)
ReplyDeleteGreate looking wagons Fran !!!
ReplyDeleteBest regards Michael
Very nice pieces!
ReplyDeleteVery nice wagons Fran. I need to get me some of these!
ReplyDeleteI really like the crates too.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of those wagons. They'd be very useful for my little Reb army - really nice job on them Fran. I like the cowboys too - particularly 'cookie' dispensing the black-as-tar coffee!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Doc
Nice models and cargo. Good idea to make it detachable
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Fran. They are very useful in a lot of periods.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Fran. Those look really nice, especially with the crates in them. Excellent job on the painting.
ReplyDeletelovely job, Lurk!

Very nice job mate, They are value for money as well I feel. I intend to pick some of these up to scatter about as terrain for my EotD games.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice kit. Now you only need a train and cattle yard for Angry!
ReplyDeleteGreat wagons Fran. Pretty impressive old west collection you have now
ReplyDeleteDamn fine looking wagons there Fran
ReplyDeleteVery cool Fran
ReplyDeleteThey look great Fran and what a difference the loads make to them too.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work! I love the cargo as much as the wagons themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe 4ground kits are excellent. The cargo is also excellent
ReplyDeleteWagons look aged, but the crates look new. I like that contrast.
ReplyDeleteThese look really nice, its good to see mdf wagons painted its all too easy just to leave them nude.
ReplyDeletenice job fran
