Whilst at Derby World Wargames show last weekend I took a look about the Warbases stand. I was actually looking for windows and doors (which Martin hadn't brought) when my eye was drawn to a cabinet containing wagons and carts. I've bought MDF carts once before (I can't remember who made them) only to be disappointed because when I made them up they were massively over scale and made my draught horses look like Shetland ponies – they went into the bin. However, like everything Martin produces, the Warbases models looked a class apart. I bought one as a try out and I must say I'm delighted with it. I'll be buying more the next time I put in a 'windows and doors' order. (Horses and driver are Front Rank).

That looks really nice.

I've grown automatically dismissive of MDF scenery because so much of it is openly cartoonish and/or puzzle-like in character, but this looks like a proper model with details and textures. I'm impressed. Now that I know this kind of work is possible, I'll have to be more discerning in my appraisal of MDF items.

Looks great Olicana.

I'll not point at my version just now as many of you will have seen it already.

Warbases carts must be in trend this year

Carts, those from Warbases and also from 4Ground, have graced my working table in the last week alone.

You can never have too many carts.

Warbases do a good bit more than carts in MDF.

Wagons, Limbers, Caissons, Forges, Cannon to name just a few.
