Procrastination has been bested. I finally got these two chariots completed. Looking back on the photos I need to remove a little of the excess basing material that sat on the models. I’m excited to be done with these having been pushed on by last month’s painting challenge.

The regular option had sat for months without any progress and I feel Gerry’s pain regarding rigging. Making twisted wire rope, tying it and attaching to the horses wasn’t fun but it was worth the attention to detail.

The tricycle of pain has all the work done on it. I even added a bit more as I thought about the front end and the men attached.

The fender was detailed to make it stand out and look cool since my first pass wasn’t so spectacular. It works and keeps the eyes moving about.

The guys got an added set of chains glued to their backs instead of using more “ropes”. I decided to use my hobby supplies instead of hoard them and came up with the use cause here. Either end is glued down with CA glue and the links got a touch of Modpodge to keep them from shifting around. I did all this before the varnish phase so it should be stable for the future.

The last detail of eyes will be added after I wind down. This has been a bit of a rollercoaster to push through these almost final steps.
