The driver is Hinton Hunt, dressed for the school production of Joseph's Technicolour Dream Coat, but I'll soon fix that.<br /><br />Clive and I have a theory that the current (square-ass) Minifigs equipment is almost identical with the S-Range stuff, so I have put this to the test and ordered a new pontoon wagon to go with my very old S-Range one. I am confident that the horses will be the new breed, but they can be replaced with vintage stock and recycled for dog meat (or boeuf Bourgignon in the French army).<br /><br />If the theory turns out to be true, this will be the second such pleasant surprise of recent times - I found to my delight that Hinchliffe's current 25mm 18pdr siege gun is spot-on for 1/72 scale (and thus well underscale for their own figures).<br /><br />Good breaks are made even sweeter by their rarity.<br /><br />TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-78662065885608417132011-10-25T14:22:16.304+01:002011-10-25T14:22:16.304+01:00Is that the old Minifig Ox cart? or do oxcarts jus...Is that the old Minifig Ox cart? or do oxcarts just tend to look alot alike? <br /><br />I've found myself casting the odd wheel recently in preparation for more limbers, one day, still convincing myself that the world won't end if I only use 2 horses for foot artillery. <br /><br />What I really need though is a new pontoon wagon, that might actually get used.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
