Another cart for the Romans

This one is more of a strongbox on wheels, ideal for transporting valuables, such as the salarium paid to the cohort.


This is another 4Ground MDF kit, that I bought from North Star, and it is another nice model. The draught oxen is, once again by Front Rank

I decided that this cart should be finished in a more impressive colour, befitting its importance and therefore I used Windsor and Newton Deep Red drawing ink.

This particular model is probably somewhat anachronistic in style, but it has a certain style about it. It is certainly going to see action in other settings too.

  1. The red ink has come out quite nicely - was that straight onto the MDF without priming?

    1. Never mind - just realised it's 4Ground so it was ink over pre-painted MDF.

    2. No, it was ink over plain MDF.
