This is
the Warhammer Empire War Wagon in its original configuration.
|
Clear
the workbench to get ready for the construction.
|
|
These are the raw basic parts of the wagon straight out of the
box.
|
The
battle figures that came with the wagon plus a few others that will be used.
|
|
The
basic wagons of the train will be built from
wood with only details from the original so the first step is to make a
rubber mold of each side.
|
details from the casting
are then cut apart and filed to proper thickness.
|
|
These
are the side rings. Mostly its just a matter
of filing everything flat.
|
These
are the eagle head corner pieces. They are a
bit harder to file down.
|
|
This is
a prototype piece used to determine the width of the wagon and tracks.
|
The war
train is beginning to take shape. Six steeds will proudly pull the war
train.
|
|
The
display case has been built to carry the war
train. Note the shelves were the background figures will look down on
the passing war wagon train.
|
The
tracks have been laid and the first coat of
varnish has been applied.
|
|
This is
the front view. note the showcase used as the
base.
|
Rear View of wagon. The
back of the case (to the right in photo)will
be covered with scenery up to the platforms for the figures.
|
|
The
horses are still being painted.
|
Wagons
will carry dozens of warriors into battle.
|
|
The Hardshell scenery has been
applied. The area to right is the -before- carving and to the
left is -after-.
|
Add a
bit of paint and the scene is comming alive.
|
|
A bit

A bit of
ground foam ground cover has been added. Weeds
are untwisted hemp twine.
