Whilst at Derby World Wargames show last weekend I took a look about the Warbases stand. I was actually looking for windows and doors (which Martin hadn't brought) when my eye was drawn to a cabinet containing wagons and carts. I've bought MDF carts once before (I can't remember who made them) only to be disappointed because when I made them up they were massively over scale and made my draught horses look like Shetland ponies - they went into the bin. However, like everything Martin produces, the Warbases models looked a class apart. I bought one as a try out and I must say I'm delighted with it. I'll be buying more the next time I put in a 'windows and doors' order.
It was quite easy to construct, even without instructions, though getting the order in which things went together took a little thought. The parts fit very tightly together and I chose to build it then apply a few spots of glue on the joints and tabs at the end.
The figure is also by Front Rank.

Looks very nice and I like the two tone colors of the horses,

Hi James. I've got sir of Martin's mdf caisso s, limbers and 8pdr guns for my French revolution project and they're great IMHO. Once they're painted they look fine.
Exellent looking cart. The second one of the same posted on blogs today, Ray Also got one, you two might have started a trend... I feel the urge for one of My own :)
an excellent job all round and so quickly painted!
Great work, I do like the Warbases carts!
top notch as usual....
i use his balista, i have stacks of them, and at a £1 each, it wasn't worth casting my own............
That is stunning. I would love to be able to achieve the same wood grain as you!
Warbases get my money too for exactly the reasons you've given.
Excellent job on the horses and on the ground...superb!
Lovely piece, excellently painted. I've just painted one of these myself and it looks like it's been abandoned in a muck heap for 10 years compared to yours! :)
