From KillianF: 28mm medieval horse and cart (20 points)

 Hello all,

As is becoming slightly standard practice, I have not completed exactly what I set out to for this week. A handful of fantasy miniatures are tantalisingly close to finishing, but I will have to save them for next week's post.

I did however finish a medieval cart from Medbury Miniatures. This is again an STL printed by me. It's a really good kit that gives loads of options for baggage. I went with relatively nodescript options, several bundles of hay, a barrel and a large bundle covered in cloth. I can then argue that anything could be under it.

The backdrop is by Jon Hodgson, downloaded from his Patreon and displayed on a standard computer monitor. Works well enough to create a scene.

I had to pull up a load of tufts as I initially placed some tall ones in the middle of the base. These got repositioned to the edge to create the impression of a verge either side of a cart track.

I painted the driver slightly brighter than I first intended. He adds colour right in the centre and prevents it from looking entirely brown.

The cart itself was sprayed Halfords Camo Brown, then drybrushed with some different brown shades up to a bone white, and then washed with AK Matte Varnish and Vallejo Game Colour Sepia and Smoky Inks.

 

 This guy will see use in Five Leagues from the Borderlands and likely any number of medieval skirmish games that require a cart to escort, destroy or loot. It could also work as a background piece in larger battle games like Midgard. Mainly though, it's a cool model I wanted to paint for a bit of variation.

 

Points:

1x 28mm vehicle: 20

Thanks,

Killian 

From DaveD. That’s a fine piece . Interesting to know it’s a 3d piece .the tufts at the  side have given the effect you wanted nicely .
