Hello dear colleagues.I want to show you creations of a miniature dear process " the Egyptian chariot ". The desire to make her{it} has appeared for a long time. From already known models likely many are familiar with a chariot from Andrea in 90 mm and the known prize-winner c Jury Serebrjakova's chariot from the Russian Hero. In searches has encountered three less known models of the Egyptian chariot. To repeat already made it is not meaningful. Has encountered in information searches the image from a fresco, this image of the pharaon has met twice - in that pose as has represented later. With a difference only in that that my figure shoots from an onions{a bow}, and on frescos is represented by a beating Egyptian sword. A unique competent source on chariots A.K.Nefyodkina's book about chariots let out{released} 2004. The book to buy it was not possible, but under statements on one of book forums has learned{has found out} what exactly on the device of the Egyptian chariot of the graphic information practically is not present. Began to collect on particles all possible{probable} illustrations and photos containing any information. To see the general{common} image even excellent{different} quality does not mean that is possible to start manufacturing. Has collected many various images and descriptions where it is possible to make out separate elements of a harness and details of the vehicle. For the beginning all of a picture has led to to approximately uniform scale for check of proportions. A parity{ratio} growth of a figure to height of a board of a vehicle both to the size of a wheel and to a horse. Has deleted strongly distinguished in the sizes and has left only 8 images. Why has thrown out? Comparing descriptions and kinds of chariots has understood time distinctions in change of proportions and the sizes. The first kinds easier also are simple on a design, wheels of the greater diameter and basically have only 4 (four) spokes. That that I also have represented the most widespread kind. In later meets not 6 (six) and eight spokes.
And a basket on early chariots open with low boards and very small area of a bottom.
Having stopped on 8 kinds has depicted all in a vector and imposing has received the average size of all proportions. Uniform drawings "factory" at that time was not also the rests of chariots show small distinctions in sizes and the form. Having taken for a basis the received average variant, has entered all variegrated images of details in borders of a contour to have precise representation about the form and the size of each separate detail. Horses used in a vehicle were already habitual for us the size. Has a little more tinkered with analysis of belts in a harness of a horse. Has found some photos with reconstruction and has compared with similar other kinds of chariots - many basic elements were left.
Having an idea already about a design of a chariot, has stopped in a choice on a single vehicle. Single were used less often but it proves to be true many sources since original frescos and bas-reliefs and up to models reconstruction. The bottom has a skeleton and will consist of wum belts. A skeleton also wooden fitted a leather.The core passes under the bottom and fastens to a cross-beam which holds a wheel axis.
By the way to me there were images confirming possible{probable} presence of the additional crosspiece along the central trunk as it is shown in figure in John Veri's book of " War of antiquity ". Such amplification{strengthening} meets but on chariots of other countries. It turns out that the basket costs{stands} on the central support (core). In area horse the neck fastens a cross-beam of the bent form with arches under a neck of a horse, it provides distance between horses. Long bridles at driving were fastened behind a back of the person of the manager of a vehicle. On frescos representing fight at Kadesh it is visible on two shooting soldiers in a vehicle and both shoot from {bows}, there is no special driver, and bridles also are fastened behind a back. Looking at the image of the pharaon his{its} pose, crossed through a forward wall of a vehicle and rested by a leg{foot} in a core is quite justified. Vehicles very easy, without springs and at movement rather strong jolting, and aim shooting of a message not having a support not really is possible{probable}. Even at viewing "Gladiator" has paid attention to a pose of the African shooting soldier (woman) in fight on arena Kalizej - remember likely. She{it} very strongly deviates back, and it at such that gallop. Has seen{overlooked} on stop the staff some times but has not seen due to that she{it} kept in such position. Such impression that she{it} leaned{based} on the belt tense across an input{entrance}. But me there was Egyptian not a Roman chariot double having half closed input{entrance}. It is one more version of a basket of a vehicle.
All that tried to tell I shall show on some graphic examples below. It briefly search and a reconstruction of an image of a chariot. Knowing now about all aspects of driving, a harness, a design and the sizes it is possible to start and drawings. I have told " Knowing now about all aspects " - certainly it a little, but it is enough to collect a vehicle maximum to those that existed those days. Some "search" images, further I shall already show also process of reproduction in Аpoxie.
