Honest Al's Chariot Emporium - Pt.3 (Sea Peoples)

 

 

Al: My friend Ishmael, "What troubles you?"
Ish: "Those fanatics who tried to kill our glorious leader.  They broke open a nest of scorpions.  The palace guards and tax collectors are everywhere."
Al: "In these trying times caution must be our watchword.  I trust that none of your current enterprises could bring suspicion upon honest merchants such as ourselves."
Ish: "As it happens I was recently obliged to pass on a new contract to a rival trader, in another town."
Al: "And should this commerce ever come to light!"

Pictures taken at the same time as the Bedouins - so background is still pink.  Must make notes on settings in future.
 
A number of conversions here including Airfix Robin Hood into Ps bow.  The 4h chariot should be 3h but nobody makes them in 20mm.  Maybe I will try to scratch-build one sometime in the future!
