I hope this image goes through OK.

It's an Easterling Chariot I did in CAD (It still needs a few things done to it to "finish" it out, like the details on the cross-bar, and I need to re-model the wheel-hubs and bosses).

It's a Light Chariot. I have a Heavy Chariot in the works.

The arched bar in the center of the car of the Chariot is also supposed to hold a couple of large quivers of arrows, for the "crew" (It will be a three man crew. A couple of Archers and a Driver, or an Archer, a guy with a Halberd, and a Driver).

The Heavy Chariot will have a seven or eight man crew. Maybe nine-man.

Both will use the Cataphract horses as the horses pulling it. That's one of the things I need to finish on the cross-bar: rigging and tack that connects the cross bar to the horses, which will connect via the hole in the back of the cataphracts.

Oh, and please excuse the sloppy rendering. I still don't know much about the rendering engine for Autodesk, especially as they have it set up on AutoCAD (where the controls are very well hidden), which is what I used to build this model, since Maya doesn't do solid-modeling.
