4Ground General Purpose Wagon

The next addition to my new Western project is a another kit from 4Ground, this time it's their General Purpose Wagon:


As it's a little smaller than their buildings (duh - obviously!) it comes on a single MDF board but isn't pre-painted like the buildings:


The kit allows you to finish the wagon in one of four simple alternatives - with or without the canopy hoop and with the back open or closed.

Although there are a few small parts, it goes together very easily and I finished putting it together in a jiffy.  Here's the finished result:


I quite like the look of the raw MDF and so I'm not sure whether I'm going to paint it or not.

  1. I've got to say that is very clever, I think I need one!

    1. With the ability to make one without the hoops it certainly gives you plenty of scope to use with other periods.

  2. They're nice kits and you can get purpose built loads for them.

  3. I love these kits for 4Ground. I have a load of the 15mm buildings and they are a treat to assemble and look great. Their models are getting better and more detailed all the time, and this one is a case in point. Very nice stuff and very affordable too, which is important if you're on a budget like pretty much everyone is these days.

    1. You're not the only one! I have a couple of 15mm buildings on the workbench waiting for me to put them together along with another couple of Western buildings. I must admit I find the ease of assembly, detail and practicality make the prices seem quite reasonable!
