Blackadders

I got two Wizard Models ‘Blackadder’ POA wagons for Christmas and they’re coming together quite nicely. There are some strange design decisions in the kit though. Making up ladders from wire and etched sides is something beyond my skills but also pointless when ready made ladder is available that looks ok and will be more robust. Also it’s my first experience with a Bill Bedford sprung suspension and it’s not something I’ll bother with again. I’ve had to put in packing to get the correct ride height and even then the springing pulled the wheels down so they touched on the frame. I ended up soldering them fixed at the correct height. Once the second one is built transfers and weathering should end up with a decent model.
