Few wagons were used in the Sahara, but in our fantasy
world of the Red Shadow, whose adventures share more similarity with Hollywood

The Wagon is from a Days Gone By set, perhaps matchbox
of Lledo, I don't remember, but was sold as a railroad wagon. It is in
1/60th scale so fits well with 28 mm figures. The dancing ladies are from
Irregular miniatures, and there are more ladies available, particularly
from Dixon's Wild West range. I would show you them, but I need your 20
francs first. |
Madam's next major upgrade will be pneumatic

The boxes on the roof are luggage or chests from various
manufacturers. The spare mattress on the roof, not very visible from the
photo, is made from sculpy (modeling plastic you bake in the oven to harden).
The draft horses are from Foundry.
The side panel is painted up on the computer, much like
the flags on Warflag.
The
majority of the images displayed in the "cast" section were taken on a
Nikon
Coolpix 900 Digital Camera.
Some
of the then were scanned on a flatbed scanner by laying the figure directly
on the glass.
