I've been looking at coaches for 28mm games, all I have is this converted western stagecoach.
I decided I need to replace it; I have ordered the Westphalia Forder 18C coach from Crantarra Miniatures.
Recently an old model kit was kindly sent to me...
it is nominally 1/48 scale; the horses are more useful to go with my 40mm figures, the coach body is better with 28mm figures and the driver plus passengers are about 35mm+ foot to top of head.
Last time I got one of these kits given to me it was incomplete, I used the wheels and horses to make a wagon. So I sorted the pieces out to use for the wagon
So the wheels were fixed on and a roof added, with a trunk stored on the back its starts to look the part
drivers seat, steps and shaft added... ready to paint...
I could do with a new driver and some nice draught horses to go with. Next job is make up the 40mm cart.
An interesting project because the parts from the kits are going into two projects. I look forward to seeing the completed/painted coach.
