Feeling guilty when ordering just a few plastic WotR spare horses, I added the Water/Wine Cart set to the order. A couple of spare plastic figures to create a vignette - possibly a scene prior to, or after, a battle.

| The wooden cup is made from Green Stuff. |
Having thrown away the can of dried up Minwax stain, I used some old (almost 10 years old) Pledge Floor Wax mixed with some sepia ink for the wash. It worked okay, but I would definitely get another can of Minwax for larger projects.
I may add something to the rear of the base - maybe a dog or some weapons and/or shields.
Not sure what this piece would be used for in a game; maybe something to capture for victory points.

| The pavise is painted up to represent the ragged staff of Warwick. |
The barrel is cast from resin.
These are likely the last figures to be painted for 2017. No idea what the next project(s) could be, but don't plan on adding anymore Wars of the Roses stuff as there are enough for the games they're to be used in.

The last 2017 vignette is absolutly superb, congrats Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Phil! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLovely work, Dean. I'm sure the troops will be very happy to see this roll up, no matter whether it's before or after a set-to!
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks, Aaron. Truly, truly...I was watching a Medieval History video - something about folks drank more beer and wine than water for health-safety reasons. Best regards, Dean
DeleteWhat a lovely way to finish the year off and I am glad that I am not the only one that feels guilty about not buying enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael. Yes, I had envisioned the Perrys (or staff) thinking, "What?! Just six plastic horses?!, Come on!" :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean, this is a handsome vignette. Last figures on the workbench for 2017? Tell me it isn’t so. Oh, I have some spare figures you could paint!
ReplyDeleteLol! You're probably correct, Jonathan. I may find some old lead (or plastic) rolling around a bin drawer to paint up before ringing in the New Year. Warmest Regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice job Dean. I can imagine Friar Tuck sitting atop this kit as well.
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes, it would be appropriate for a monk or some other cleric type lurking around the wine. Kindest Regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful work Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! Best, Dean
DeleteSecond go! Lovely looking vignette, always nice to pick up a little something extra when shopping!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. It was a nice break from the usual troop/unit work. Regards, Dean
DeleteNice note to end on Dean, I could do with a full size version with the week I'm having.
ReplyDeleteRegards HGA.
Thanks, HGA. Sorry to hear about your woes. That said, "Let them drink...and remember their troubles no more." Best regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking cart Dean!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thank you kindly, Christopher! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat little scene Dean. All of the Perry Wagons and Carts are really nice models - and really useful in games!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Oli. Yes,the Perrys make some of the coolest, and useful, stuff. Tireless and supremely talented. Best regards, Dean
DeleteOh I like that. Nicely arranged, and the cup came out well. I agree some stuff hanging off wagon would be a nice touch. In the Saga skirmish game this would be an excellent baggage vignette that would need to be escorted off field to win. Usually there are three of them.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Thanks for the nice comments, Kevin. Appreciate your Saga suggestion too. W armrest regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent vignette, splendid colors! The barrel
ReplyDeleteand the wooden cart is very realistic!Well done!

DeleteGreat wine cart Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike!
