My first oxen team for my Russian army though haven't a driver yet.Tried weathering on the wagon after a video but not sure it came out as shown.
So wondering any helpful hints for the next team. Another of same wagon and a Russian army owned so should it be green?
Do have team tied up right? Making the yokes and the oxen came with collar so nect team did thin out that.

I can't answer your question about what color to paint your next wagon but from what I could find, I believe your rigging set up is correct.

So far, the website below has been the best I found for examples of 4 oxen teams.

Completed my last ( for now) Russian wagons, have 2 wagons for my Prussians and 4 extra oxen for future.
Thought about my green question and thought my scratch built supply wagons are green so should other army owned.

I like this better, decided not to glue in crates to make it versatile

But next up is the 210th anniversary of Borodino and I need a parade
