Here's the last pair of Peleset chariots.
Newline Design figures once again, part of my post Holiday sale purchase back in January.
Once again, the easy fit of the crew into the cab is a nice feature of these models... not the case with many other manufacturers!
The drivers are doing the "Ben Hur" with the dental floss reins!
These look GREAT, Peter! I may pick some of these up myself in the next sale.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with them, and I also don't know of any other manufacturer that does them in 25/28 mm, so I'd say they belong in your January 2022 order, Jon! :-)
DeleteSuperb, Peter! You have more chariots than the king of Assyria.
ReplyDeleteLOL, thanks, John. I have a few more 2 horse Assyrian chariots and a few more Indian chariots to do eventually, but that should be about it for chariotry, I think!
DeleteSuperb work
ReplyDeleteThankyou, Neil!
DeleteExcellent looking chariots!
ReplyDeleteThanks; who doesn't love chariots? :-)
DeleteLots of bright colours, very nicely done, these will certainly standout on the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter. I decided to do the group of 6 Peleset chariots all in primary colors, so the cabs are in combinations of somewhat muted red, blue, and/or yellow.
DeleteAnother set of impressive chariots, Peter. I commend you for doing the reins so nicely - with dental floss, no less!
ReplyDeleteThanks, dean. My older (30 years!) I used a kind of paper tape (no adhesive) that came with some 54 mm plastic models to use as crossbelts but I haven't been able to find anything like it since then, hence the Dental Tape!.
DeleteWonderful! Love the dental floss lines and the desert bases.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I confess to really liking this basing as well. Best thing is it is quick, easy, and relatively cheap! :-)
DeleteSplendid additions!!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Phil!
DeleteThey certainly do look spiffy. I see them soon in a battle report.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Egypt vs Sea Peoples, Hittites vs Sea Peoples, and Hittites vs Egypt all seem likely in the future!
DeleteAnother pair of splendid looking chariots!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Glad you like them!
DeleteAww, that's a shame. The last of them, really? They are such great looking chariots. I can see why you purchased them and have had fun painting them. May I request a review (or mini race meeting!) please?
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thank you for the very kind words, James. A review of the entire Sea Peoples collection is planned once I finish the three new Sardanna warbands presently on the painting table!
DeleteExcellent brushwork!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray!
DeleteThe bright colour scheme and reins make them special
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary. I think these were among the easiest chariots to assemble and paint.
DeleteNice chariots :) Looking forward to the army shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark. Finishing up 2 Sardana warbands and a Leader. Once they've had their time in the sun, a Sea Peoples Grand Review will follow!
DeleteThose chariots are really nice Peter! I love the colours you chose for them and the great brushwork. I have not seen dental floss reigns before, what a great idea (and better for the horses teeth than a bit!) :-D
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Jason
Thank you for the kind words, Jason!
DeleteAs previously related, I used a form of paper tape for the reigns of my first chariots, Hinchliffe Assyrian 4 Horse chariots. I didn't cheat with them, either, so that's 8 reins per Chariot. I haven't been able to find anything like that again, hence the dental tape/floss! Here I am cheating with one per horse for effect!
