finished Kindernact Wagon!

[Malamute]

Hammershield, Who is driving the wagon. I can't quite make him out. I presume he is not the original monk driver?
I also scond Tood's comments about the white haired child, very spooky indeed

[Hammers]

Yes, I did the harness bits myself. I couldn't figure out what to do with the provided parts and an iron plated wagon seemed to call for chains, yokes and a full brace of oxen. The fat carter is Mr Hench from Eureka's Pax Limpopo.

Great work there! I've now got mine out of its 'half cleaned up' storage box and am still trying to work out the positioning of 4 pieces - 2 are possibly to 'attach' to the oxen (approx 4 cms long with nail on one side and a spike near either end) although I can't work out how. there are also 2 small flat oblong pieces (112mm X 7mm) with a nail or similar sticking out - Ihave no idea on these at all!

Any help appreciated!

Dave,
I used those oblong rectangular section to create the hitch section that is mounted to the front of the cart....you can see it best in the last photo in the post (it's hard to see in the others because it goes between the two bulls that are pulling the cart.
Hope that help..I had no idea what i was doing with the structure myself LOL

Well, there you go... Just what I tried to say.

Me, I just said to myself "hammershield" I said "Bugger these incomprehensible little fiddly-bits. You just go ahead and make yourself a scratchbuilt yoke and chain contraption for them oxen."

THANK YOU!. Glad we pinned that definition.

It's the same approach to engineering that brought us the Volvo.

Thanks! Can't quite make it out on the picture - I think I'll add some chains etc although, having said that, it has gone back into it's box as I have just received a bunch of old Garrison fantasy and realised I no longer have room in my hobby 'box room' for anything bigger than a 6m Celt.......... :cry:

Normal service to be resumed once the builder turns up, puts a window in the attic and I can then create a slightly larger playroom for myself...............

In the meantime I'm painting up a bunch of Artizan WW2 Germans for my 'Pulp' ideas....................if I ever finish any I'll post. Eek!
