Chariots assembled and ready for basing


I finished the assembly of the 9 chariots last night. The riders are now all pinned and glued to the chariots, and the wheels to the chariot frames.  

I've decided not to fix the chariots to the bases, yet, as basing will be very much easier without them in place. I have, though, used greenstuff to make ruts into which the wheels can be securely glued at the end of the process. I'm not going to add harness, though, as I'm worried about the fragile reins getting damaged in play, and because life is too short!

That Boudicca is going to catch a chill! Great stuff, what make are the chariots?

Hi Barry, Boudicca's chariot is one of Relics; very nice. The others are heavily converted from Wargames Factory ones, with Relic's wheels.

The Warlord chariots are pretty good, later I'm going to add some of those to the collection.

Thanks all! I've just grouted all the bases, and am off to bed whilst they dry. Hopefully have these finished by the weekend! Only 14 months late...
