Gary....

this is a look at the side of the seat with the seat on the spring i need to fix the pin striping its a mess si just look at the rest....
Gary....

this is a look at the front you can see i have all the iron on the box at this time....
Gary.....

this shows the wood i have cut at the side of the wagon i have them cut so as to look like 1+10s or so there glued up at the time, this way it gives the look of the chuck box made from lumber of the time and not plywood if you look back you will see thats how i made the bottom and the sides as will... that may not mean much to alot of folks but it does to me and thats one thing alot of model wagon makers over look is the size of there wood.. i did my salf when i started it takes alot more time but then the look of what they had to work with in that time stands out if you look...
Gary....

Certainly coming along great. I know what you mean about making the the planks to the right scale as it can ruin a model if not done correctly
