Wagon Construction

Two horse van wagon made out of interlocking bricks, styrene plastic bits, wheels from the Imex Conestoga wagon set, traces from wire mesh, and horses by Eagle Games.  1/72nd scale.
Two versions of the wagon, one van and one more of a chuck wagon with extended rear.
The white bits are axles.  Wire traces are on top of some of the wagons.
Plastic coated wire from Plastruct for the axles.  Very thin sheet plastic from Evergreen Scale Models to cover the top and bottom of the interlocking bricks.
Wheels.

If ever there is a 'Wargame Modellers' Law' it is this: you can NEVER have too many wheels! It is the dearth of wheels that leaves my logistics elements woefully under represented.

Man you got that right! I have resin cast wheels, I have bought models just for the wheels, I have made wheels out of all kinds of stuff. There are never enough.
