Inspired by the Mongolian yurts and the description of Tuchuk wagons in John Norman's Nomads, this wagon is sturdily constructed, high off the ground for pulling over uneven terrain.
"The wagon box, which stands almost six feet from the ground, is formed of black, lacquered planks of tem-wood. Inside the wagon box, which is square, there is fixed a rounded, tentlike frame, covered with the taut, painted, varnished hides of bosks. These hides are richly colored, and often worked with fantastic designs, each wagon competing with its neighbor to be the boldest and most exciting. The rounded frame is fixed somewhat within the square of the wagon box, so that a walkway, almost like a ship's bridge, surrounds the frame." (Nomads, p. 51)
The smokehole and wheels hand crafted by myself and meshed,, and the rims carved as described in the books. The wagon box walls are high enough to provide cover for shooting during combat.
"One of the most striking features of these wagons is the wheels, which are huge, the back wheels having a diameter of about ten feet; the front wheels are, like those of the Conestoga wagon, slightly smaller, in this case, about eight feet in diameter (...) These wheels are carved wood" (Nomads, p. 52)
The interiors are lavishly decorated...
"The interiors of the wagons, lashed shut, protected from the dust of the march, are often rich, marvelously carpeted and hung, filled with chests and silks, and booty from looted caravans" (Nomads, p. 52)
The wagon and tent are all mesh with the exception of the axle and axle supports. The total LI is 29, footprint is 16x16m, but it is mod so it can be resized; please note land impact may increase with resize! You can of course change the textures too, as it's fully mod, but my feelinses will be hurt!
Note the last picture here with the black tent, is not the tent in this listing, but is only to show the wheels.
All mesh; copy/mod perms
