scythed chariots

Scythed chariots in 1/72 - for a Successor army. Do they exist?

Zvesda & Newline both have Persian ones which I guess would not be out of the question for a Seleucid army? The Zvesda one is virtually unobtainable, so that cuts the choices down.

I'd only need one model for addition to my Pyrrhic army to make it a Successor force. I know the purists would howl at this but I think I can live with it.

Dear Ochion, I obtained the Zvezda Persian Cavarly and Chariot set on a Belgian fleemarket back in 2018. I have no memory if I ever sold it or not. I will have a look for you as soon as I am in my storage.

They do not exist. The Zvezda Chariot does not represent a Seleucian nor Mithridatic Chariot - because those were one man chariots.

Point taken. Scratch-built might be worth thinking about. The chariot itself - a box on wheels - couldn't be hard to make or adapt (Newlines' Hittite heavy chariots?). 4 Horses & a driver need consideration.

As I said - I only need one....

where are you located? have you tried Ebay? I see many listings in the 18-25$ range, some of the cheapest coming from Estonia.
