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. - Ix |

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

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. link
Armoured Cars, did I mention Armoured Cars. link
