Wild West Railroad Prison Wagon: A High-Risk, High-Reward Wargame Scenarios

 

Alright, so think about this: a clattering prison wagon, reinforced with iron bars, slowly making its way through the wilderness, transporting a notorious outlaw. It's almost like the perfect ticking time bomb in your wargame scenario. In one possible scene, a gang of criminals is lying in wait, planning to break their leader out before the law can deliver him to justice. Or maybe, it's the lawmen themselves trying to hold onto the wagon, fighting off relentless attacks while protecting their valuable prisoner.

 

The removable roof comes into play here, giving you access to the tense action inside, where the prisoner could be shackled, waiting for their chance to escape, or where defenders dig in, ready for an ambush. You know, it could be the setting for a dramatic jailbreak - guns blazing, chains rattling, everything balanced on the edge of chaos. Or, in another scenario, the prison wagon might just become a fortress on wheels, a last stand as enemies close in from all sides.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Construction:

 

Building this laser-cut Wild West structure is an enjoyable and straightforward process, perfect for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. The kit includes detailed, step-by-step instructions that clearly guide you through each stage of construction, showing the necessary components and the finished result. Minimal glue is required - just a little PVA, wood glue, or stationery glue works well. Using a sharp knife to carefully remove parts from their sprues ensures clean assembly. The easy-to-follow instructions combined with precise laser cuts make for a satisfying build, resulting in a highly detailed and immersive model for your tabletop Wild West town.

There are full, detailed instructions.
