Chinese Warring States converted Qin Chariot  -  Posted: June 8, 2010  -  Manufacturer: Renegade Miniatures
This front view shows a bit more detail on how the chariot was made. The driver and the crossbowmen started life as cavalry riders. The spearman is a standard spearman from Renegade. All that was required for converting the riders was a couple of bent arms and legs! The horses required a little more work, needing the head decoration, a strap around the chest, and a little tuft of red fur on the chest strap. One thing to note is that this is a heavy piece... About 1kg, which is just over 2lbs... Now I know what Tim was saying when he liked the weight of metal figures! If this was dropped, I am sure it would be crushed under its own weight! Give me plastic any day :)
