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.
