Well I’ve managed to find some wheels on a toy car that will do (the cars were only 99p each), so I bought 2 as I’ve decided to make 2 of Haflingers.

I cut out the main bed, then made & fitted the footwells (sorry for the crap photos :? )

An actual CAD drawing! Such planning, the rest of us are sketching if that or just making s**t up!

That is a fun, very odd little vehicle and the original Haflinger looks even more like a pencil scribble of a vehicle instead of something real.

Looking forward to watching this progress!

Very nice work and glad you found some wheels that worked.  Always a pain to do.

When I was a boy we wished we had a plan.  We had to make due with some charcoal and flour paste on our little brothers back if we wanted to sketch something out.  Then we had to walk up hill both ways.   lol lol lol

Excellent! 8)

And when going through the motions, why not do multiples? It's what I tend to do most of the time as well lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Well after a good start I’ve decided I don’t like the wheels & have become quite disheartened with the whole thing.
Hopefully I can find some other wheels that I like & get me arse into gear & get em finished!

Thats a shame, I hope you find some you like.

If it's the toy look to them you could always prime them.
