Wagons and carts help add life and variety to medieval scenes. There are unlimited numbers of designs, and a great variety of purpose for different horse drawn vehicles. Below are 4 designs that John or myself have used in our own builds.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with this 4 wheeled farm wagon that I used in my Nordheim Paddock <\/a>build.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

It’s a pretty simple design that does allow for the front wheels to turn via the 2×2 turntable. Some ladders and 3 long bars make up the sides.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

A 2×2 plate in the color of your choice makes a nice cushion for the driver to sit on.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

Ready to haul some hay!<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

Next is a sturdy 2 wheeled cart. In this first picture, it’s upside down to show how the axle for the wheels is attached.<\/p>\n

\"b1\"<\/p>\n

The clips to hold the axle fit nicely on either side of the 1x2x4 bracket. We used 2 different kinds of brackets on the top side to allow for some offset in the loaded materials (silver bars in this case).<\/p>\n

\"b2\"<\/p>\n

The horses harness clips on like so.<\/p>\n

\"b4\"<\/p>\n

The 1×4 tile at the front is held on by the clips below.<\/p>\n

\"b5\"<\/p>\n

Moving onto a 2 wheeled cargo cart, this is a design I’ve used numerous times. Some plate modified with clip and handle make up the skeleton of the sides.<\/p>\n

\"c1\"<\/p>\n

Then some plates tiles, more plate modified, and a 4×6 plate are added.<\/p>\n

\"c2\"<\/p>\n

\"c3\"<\/p>\n

Again this cart has a bit of articulation via the turntable.<\/p>\n

\"c4\"<\/p>\n

\"c5\"<\/p>\n

\"c6\"<\/p>\n

Another load of goods ready to move out.<\/p>\n

\"c7\"<\/p>\n

Last for this tutorial is a chariot that John used in his Kingdom of Ferrari<\/a> MOC. This section is shown upside down so you can see how it’s put together.<\/p>\n

\"d1\"<\/p>\n

We used some fancy inverted quarter domes for the body of the chariot, but simpler parts could work just as well.<\/p>\n

\"d2\"<\/p>\n

\"d3\"<\/p>\n

The ‘reins’ the fig is holding are just one long string with studs on both ends. Another short string was attached to the outside of the horses harnesses.<\/p>\n

\"d4\"<\/p>\n

\"d5\"<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on medieval carts and wagons, and if you ever have suggestions for other tutorials, or questions about a design, be sure to let us know!<\/p>\n
