That looks fanatstic - great work indeed.

I have had this dilemna many times and always end up poaching them from other models. I live in the hope I will come across some cheap plastic toys with spoked wheels one day. Not the easiest thing to scratchbuild in this scale

Front Rank sell some wheels (code EQ18 to EQ21). They are for the 18th Century though so you will need some modification to make them fit a 19th Century diligence.

whaouh..thanks a lot, that's exactly what I needed

thanks for your kindness about the stagecoach.
I made it with foam board and strong corrugated paper for small elements (shock absorbers, thin straps....)
the top luggage protection is just a tie up painted in gold.
then i will open the doors, and add a place for gunner on top.

have a nice day

Exact! Moi aussi

The stagecoach looks good. What is the scale? (Qu'est que c'est la taille?)

Het,

actually I made a master, and some resin castings of these kind of wheels (front and rear) for the same goal of scratchbuilding some wagons.
