Next weekend at Partizan our crew of Morris and Chums will be recreating the Battel of Lewes 1264 and a key part of the battle was Simon de Montfort's carriage that Prince Edwards troops took time to loot after defeating the Londoners rather than returning to the fray. By the time Edwards contingent re-joined the battle the Rebel barons were victorious!
But, we don't have a carriage! So a quick order to Warbases and I was quickly to work!
The horses are also from Warbases while the driver and dog are left over from the Reconquer tanners that I painted previously, this chap looks like he's getting a piece of South Downs flint from one of the horses hooves. The bottle is from Bad Squiddo, a really useful set of accoutrements to add a lived in look to your dioramas.
The carriage itself is done from a basecoat of VMC Flat Brown, but I wanted it to look quite dirty after travelling over the South Downs so dirtied it up a bit.
I've since brushed off the clinging static grass that's showing up in the images!
Although my Barons War collection will be at Partizan I'll not be, inattention to the calendar means I'll be in Italy vacationing with Victoria that week!
