A rickshaw would be a nice piece of
scenery in the Indonesian harbour I’m working on. I’ve looked around a bit but
haven’t found any rickshaw models suitable for my 28mm figures.
Anyway, I was placing an order at Sarissa when I found out that they
actually had a rickshaw, or at least something that could be modified to become
one.
In their Gaslamp Alley range of
Victorian SF stuff they have a Hansom
Cab. Not a rackshaw for sure, but it has the potential.

| Limited surgery and you have a rickshaw. |
I went for a very easy conversion and removed
the seat behind the cab and also the handrail in front of the passenger seats.

| It needs paint at this stage. |
And there you have it, a rickshaw. A
bit on the heavy side but it will work as clutter on the gaming board.
Painted with Vallejo Cork Brown, a wash of Army Painter Strong Tone Ink and drybrushed with Cork Brown and Buff. Diluted Citadel Mechrite Red for the panels.
Nice. Your tables are always full of these characterful pieces...really brings them to life!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteClutter is what makes a gaming table come to life. Always worth the investment
That will certainly add flavour to the table. Should also fit right in on the streets of Hanoi or Saigon. I need to include one in the next Sarissa order.
ReplyDeleteWe'll use it when you get a Indochina game in :-)
DeleteAny year now.

as promises go, that is a weak one...
DeleteThat's really beautiful, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil!
