Thread: building a sheep wagon in 1/8th scale

I've been meaning to check this one out for some time. Sure glad I did.
Fantastic stuff Gary, it's coming along really well.

For me, the wheel-making was especially interesting. That's what I'm trying to master at the moment. Spoked car wheels, though, not wagon wheels (yet).

Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

this is the stove i made for the wagon with the bows i'm sorry i haven't been on but i've got a show on saturday and i would like to have this wagon as part of it...
Gary,

this is where the stove sets the inside is not as i would like it at this time i need a dry sink and some things that i don't have the time to do all the hardware took more time then i thought...
Gary,

this shows the dutch doors the tape is steel on the window,
Gary....

this is the back of the wagon this door opens under the bed for storage and opens in the liveing space...
Gary...

Still going well Gary,
I like the oven and wash tub, very nice indeed.
Have fun at your show.

Wonderful stuff Gary. Your attention to detail is almost sickening. I love it.

That stove looks great. In fact, it looks like it would work. Just needs the flue.

thanks Fly, this shows the gears there all dun and the brake is working tomrow i'll put the bows on and the top and the stove will be reddy to bake a cake in....
Gary.....

Gary,
Why does it look green in above picture and a brown in the lower one?
Another question the lower photo makes it look like the spokes are different. It may just be the camera angle.

Hi Gary that is a first class job you have done on the wagon, the stove is a
wonderful piece of modelling,I hope your trip on Saturday Goes well and you get it all finnished on time,I agree with Crowie T he Mods should have a good look at this wip.
Looking forward to hear how you got on with the trip


Cheers Eddie.

Fly, the flash come on in the bottom pic the spoks do look different it may be the size of the wheel or the angle the spokes or a little longer on the back wheel... it may be that i filed them shorter looking strait on they look ok or don't show up that much... what ever it is i did it not George Bush,
Gary.....

G'Day Gary,
If this level of detail & craftsmanship goes into a "rush build", all I can say is WOW!!!
Truely a master craftsman.
