Market Cart With Vegetables
from MiniArt
Kit No #35623
1:35th scale
Miniart loves punctuating T-34, Panzer IV's and StuGs with smaller kits that seem to be not at all on the scale of massive releases of big name and famous military machines, but no more or less important to a modeller's arsenal than these high profile kits. Items like this new "Market Cart With Vegetables" can be used with many a genre and timeframe, from modern boutique markets to WWI and earlier scenes. these smaller kits can fill your diorama world with detail and depth.

Indeed there are multiple types of market cart through the years - many types as the imagination can come up with...
Miniart's new kit:
This kit is made from four sprues of injection moulded plastic - one sprue of vegetables in 35th scale...
One to make the cart...
…and two small sprues to make the many wooden boxes the fruit and vegetables comes in...
The kit made up...
So after the kit is together it looks a little like the sum of these parts, with the eight wooden boxes full of onion, cucumbers, carrots, capsicum,  and a rather large pumpkin and a butternut pumpkin. You know all the stuff we modellers don't get to eat too much.
Here is the simple cart made up, with a side bracket to help it sit straight...
Here is everything together - of course you can colour the cart and vegetables to a lesser extent - in whatever shades you like. It sure looks plenty real enough to us!
