    Default Gipsy Wagon or Irish bowtop?

    I've had som problems building the four wheel steering truck, so I just put it aside for re-examening. In the mean time I've spent, again, some time in the hospital but whas able to create this wagon. Its appoximately 40 cm long, 20 cm wide and 30 cm high. Again there are no plans except for making the roof-supports. I'll post all the pics here allmost simutaniously as it's allready finished!

    Default Last set of pics...

    In this last set you can see the result. The chairs are 11 cm high at an oval table... The roof is made of 4 mm ply and 2 mm plexy. The idea was to make a smooth roof, wich I believe is a succes. I'd love to hear your comments!

    Sorry to hear you've had more time in hospital hope all is well.
    But I can see your work is still as good as ever.
    The Gipsy Wagon is wonderful!
    I really like the roof showing all of the detail inside.
    I'd imagine if it was life size it would be a great holiday home along a quite river somewhere.
    Fantastic work as always.
    Stay Well Mate.

    Cheers

    Sorry to hear about your hospital stay hope things are on the mend or even better all mended. That looks great I also like what you did with the roof so as to allow people to look inside and see the detail. Where I keep my caravan there is one of these all under tarpaulin with a lot of the fancy paint work
