Wow? Is that a kit or scratch built?

It is a model in 20.3 entirely handmade with the wood surrounding the cheese box, it is not entirely finished, there are a few small bits and pieces .

Wonderful, what a piece of art!

 

[JGDURAND]

In order to better see the details, I present my model to you in a more "artistic" way.

Fantastic?

What a great hobby this is. It's amazing what directions it can take us. Why, it's even better than stamp collecting. !!!!!!!!!

Nice work, JGD- I'd like your instructions for miniature wheelwrighting.

I'd like your instructions for miniature wheelwrighting.

You could go around in circles trying to get a wheel right.

Thank you for your comments.
John, this is how I made my wheels: For the rear, 3 strips glued successively on a 60mm diameter PVC tube and for the front on a large plastic canister cap, the hub was turned with my drill, in 10mm rounds of wood, the spokes are toothpicks. Some pictures hoping that it can be useful
for you

 

[John Le Forestier]

Thanks for the tips, JGD. You make it look so easy.
You've inspired me.

Preparation of horse harnessing with evergreen bands. Be forgiving, I am not a specialist in this matter

 

[Paul M]

Looks good to me

I leave you to your reactions

 

[John Le Forestier]

It's a masterpiece! Congratulations!

I have built 'wagons' from the Hobby annual..

They look 'clunky' in comparison to your fine work.
