Wagon for Mordheim

I had this old wagon set from when I was a kid. It was the Borax 20-mule train that was a promotional item for Borax detergent back in the late 1960s (they had commercial advertisements on Death Valley and Rawhide). Well, this thing had been sitting on my shelf for 30 years, and I decided to use one of the wagons for the Mordheim 'Caravan' scenario (The Town Cryer, issue #11).
	This is what I use: Particle board for the base One wagon with balsa siding Two mules from the wagon team and a plastic Mordheim figure from the Mordheim mercenary set. The wagon is quite cool, because the wheels actually go round and the front carriage actually turns.
First I cut the particle board to size, and then with a rotary tool smoothed out an area beneath it and screwed a small metal strip. This was so the base can actually articulate to give the impression that the wagon turns.
	I attached thin card pieces and primed the base black. I then drybrushed on a blue-gray, and glued on some sand and flock.
I then took the legs of a mercenary and trimmed behing their knees so his legs would bend further. This was important so that he give the appearance of sitting rather than standing.
	I then added the torso, arms and head. I had to remove an sword that was in the figure's right hand, and use glue as filler for his knee-caps.
The wagon bed is made from small strips of balsa.
	I then painted the driver, and added thick thread as reins.
