Made some carts and feel they look too small. What do you think? I thought they are in correct size but maybe the whole raised.on a-base-thing is making the proportions not work. As the paper minis also tend to be a bit larger, I am thinking of making the carts bigger, larger-than-life so to speak

I'd say the size is perfect... unless you mean to have minis riding in them.

I think you are right. The thick bases do throw things off, usually railings and crenellations more than anything. Your models look like rickshaws or large wheelbarrows. If they are meant to be horse-drawn the should probably be enlarged a bit

yeah, they are meant to be pushed by humans (or whatever race^^). not ridden by them. and if anything to just make the surroundings more interesting. don't think they will have game function.
thx for the feedback!

You need to put more faith in gamers. Some of our best sessions were 'Out and About' sessions. Scouring the countryside. We had one town setting during a market. Carts to get produce and goods to the market (who knows what else is in the cart) would have been a very valid element. I can see some player that decides to bring a cart into the dungeon, even though it would be loud, just to be able to bring out more loot or casualties. I think it will be used quite a bit.

For Wargaming scale, the wagon body should be 2 inches by 3-4 inches. Horses typically have a 2 inch by 1 inch base.
Hope that helps.

The carts look fine to me too. Don't forget, they're not made to be specific sizes or patterns; they're just made as required by, or for, whoever needs one. And horses come in various sizes that pull them as well, plus don't forget other draught animals - like oxen, donkeys and even dogs. Modern horses tend to be significantly larger than historical types too, and using them as close patterns is a common mistake in many historical cast mini wargame figure ranges, as judged by archaeological remains and ancient to medieval depictions of such animals.

I really need to quit posting when I'm half dead to the world.
As small carts they are fine. For some reason I thought they were supposed to be wagons.
I now have that scene from Monty Python in my head...
"Bring out your dead!"
"Here you go!"
"But I'm not dead yet!"
"Sure you are, now shut it!"
