Well that's hella fringe

I would have expected something like hard plastic banditos first.

It might be a little fringe, but I can see many gamers getting one of these even if they don't play in the Old West. Carts and wagons find a use in many scenarios after all and most people don't know enough of the details to be able to tell that it belongs to a specific era.

Seems perfect for DnD or other tabletop games, leave the canvas off and put a treasure chest, bags, or misc gear in the back.

Overall a nice piece and definitely tempting to the fantasy crowd.

However, is anyone else's eye drawn unfortunately to the comically deep and wide wood grain? I'm all about fast-and-easy to paint miniatures However, the grain could be half as deep, half as wide and twice as prevalent and still be dead easy to easily quick-paint with washes, dips, etc...

Agree its a nice piece. I can see quite a few uses for a cart like that.

With re: to the detail, just don't thin your paints when you paint it. Instant filler

I actually didn't notice in the painted photo, but when you pointed it out, it stands out on the sprues.

Very cool. That would be crazy useful for conversions of all sorts.

Yeah, I'd buy one.

I love the gunfighters and am looking forward to this...

I will definitely being buying a couple of boxes. I hope they do some First Nations and Mexicans sets soon.

Looking forward very much to when this hits the shelves of my FLGS. This will be useful for so many things in WHF, 40K, Bolt Action and all sorts of skirmish games!

looks like my ACW 28mm for Sharpe Practice could finally be getting a supply wagon for some of the raiding scenarios

There's a idea of Wargames Atlantic Digital - wagon drivers and passengers for different historical eras or fantasy.

Have another one: different draft animals (Horses, Oxen, Mules etc.) ideally with some era-appropriate trimmings, or even of recognizable breeds.

Nice looking one. I bet it will sell well, being useful for both historical and fantasy.

This looks like a fun base to make some Romani/ Caravan wagons...
