Engineered across 5 modular frames, this kit builds 3 complete chariots and includes 20 highly detailed figures offering hundreds of assembly options. You receive parts to build 6 dedicated drivers, 8 armored warrior crew, 3 figures of the Iceni Queen Boudicca, and 3 mystic Druids.

Tip: Assemble and paint your chariot in sub-assemblies before final mounting.

The chemical weld creates a durable bond that keeps thin yoke bars, reins, and wheel axles aligned under tabletop handling.
