Here's a site that has an a lot of information about making Scale Model Horse Drawn Vehicles, it is well worth looking thru this site as it has an extensive amount of information regarding making these models.

Lot's of different sections to browse thru. :-)

Here is a 1/12th scale model of a Light Business Waggon, made once again from the drawings of J.E.Bishop and Son, printed in "The Australasian Coachbuilder and Wheelwright, Oct 1906".

Usual methods of construction, so no different procedures were required.

Sorry about no before photo's, got carried away with splashing paint about and completely forgot about taking any pics.

As usual just outstanding. About my favorite models on here. And that's saying something. The paint jobs are really excellent. Thanks for showing them again!

Greenie, Alistair Clarke should be proud to have his waggon painted (and built) by you.
I'm curious, I don't see any kind of a brake. Would a wheel just be chocked when parked?

Utterly superb. As usual. -- Russ

Here's the latest offering, it's NOT Horse Drawn Vehicle, but where else can I put it ?

It is a 1/12th scale model of a man drawn Hose Reel.

Used a drawing published in "The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler, Nov 1894".

The wheels do not have any dish in them as they are made just like a bicycle wheel is spoked.
Will need to do more of them to get it just right, but near enough for the model.

Have a look and see what you think ------------------
