Ox-drawn Wagon

Perry Miniatures Ox Wagon

This is the fourth Perry Miniatures Wagon I have now completed and I think it is probably my favourite. A fantastic kit that really captures the feel of the hordes of followers and carts that would follow armies in the renaissance. Fitting the yokes and the chain was quite tricky and I feel maybe the chain looks a little modern, it's my addition it does not come with the kit. It was nowhere near as tricky to assemble as the horse drawn wagon however http://camisado1500s.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/covered-four-horse-wagon.html . I have two more of the smaller Perry Wagons to complete which will leave me with a sizable baggage train. I like this kit so much though that I am tempted to get another one but put something different inside, the Perry Twins sell the cart and oxen separately so you can do this.

  2. This is a great piece of work Oli. The chain is a super addition and looks great. Looking at original drawings of camp scenes of the period, these baggage trains must have been huge!!!
