Paint your wagon.

I was born under one wandering star. 
Lee Marvin gave the idea to paint my wagon a different colour to plain brown and a quick look on Google showed me a few examples of blue wagons.


The blue is PeterPigs pack 92 settlers wagon, recently bought and the brown is peterPigs pack 65 supply wagon, though this was bought and painted more than 20 years ago.


The supply wagon was touched up and a wash or two applied and then debased.



Hopefully I will have a couple of pictures tomorrow of the stagecoach.

  1. Paint Your Wagon - a classic! I grew up near where the movie was filmed. Back then, it was a BIG deal to have a movie shot on location in my neck of the woods.

    Good looking team and wagon.
