I have made a few coaches of various sorts in 18mm and 28mm and would love to see anything like this in either scale for our era. Napoleon's Berline from Warlord is a marvellous but unique offering. There was the truly superb one from Frank Gemmerhaus, occasionally seen here, but now collector's piece (how I wish…). I have converted the old Schilling/Westfalia coach, but really did not do enough to modernise. to carry Louis XVIII. At a glance this is from much earlier, however superbly done. You have crossposted to 18th 19th Century Boards but struck me as even earlier. Sure enough this is in their Three Musketeers range, so late 17th C. That suspension seen here gave way to C springs and straps, then later leaf springs. Heavy wheels, carriage box shape, let alone the rig of the humans.
But what a great model. The seated passengers are superb. I am tempted regardless of the era

Good on you mate. "Blinding" actually. (God help our trans Atlantic cousins trying to follow this) There are phrases that cannot stand the Pond. But this coach is truly the dog's b…s I am scared after my suspended sentence after my contribution to the firearms thing that got me in trouble |
