Perry Miniatures - Russian Transport


The last of the purchases from WMMS show in March are off the paint table, which is great timing considering Salute in a fortnight.

I was looking for some supply elements for both sides, whilst opting for Chinese Coolies for the Japanese I figured the Russians would be more suited to wheeled transport and spotted this cossack wagon from Perry Miniatures taken from their Napoleonic range, I doubt  your average Russian peasant is unlikely to have changed over a couple of hundred years.



I omitted a number of the rein pieces as they were a little on the fiddly side and I doubted how much game play they would stand up to and had to file out a greater ledge for the driver to sit on, but I am happy with the results.
 
Last up Redoubts Rickshaw.
No real thoughts about how this is going to fit in , but I had a few pounds left in my pocket so why not... I guess it could be a diplomat or person of note, so is likely to work it's way into a couple of the scenarios.

    1. It would certainly fit with your Boxers Michael, the guy's at Redoubt were telling me the Chinese Litter should be available for Salute, something else to add to the the list :-)

  2. That wagon will go well with the retreating from Moscow naps that the Perry's are doing at the moment and I love that rickshaw.
    Cheers,
    Pat.
