Taxi!
« on: July 29, 2011, 03:42:40 PM »
Westwind's Hanson Cab....



Absolute pig to put together - in places there's more filler and glue than metal - and you would have to be very generous to describe the passengers and driver as 'human looking' but it does the job  :D

Base is one of Geronimo's natty Chariot bases :D

Maybe they are not completely human?

I have see some pretty odd looking humans in my 61 years (especially the 15 years in nursing before I became a merchant for death.)

 Very nice Jon.

 It does look as if it would be hard to put together.

 I have the Kinder wagon to do at some piont.

Superb!  That should complement your equally tasty Vamp. Hunters very nicely. A few people have mentioned the awkwardness of this kit.  Does anybody know of any other Hansons or similar that aren't quite so fiddly to assemble?

Cheers, all 8)

The only other Hansom I know of is the Eureka one but that (with passengers & driver) is nearly twice the price of the Westwind  :-I

Are taxi drivers human?

I thought they were a sub-species?

Ditto on your comments Dags......great PJ and makes me want to finish putting mine together....now that I know where one of the odd pieces goes!

I also have the Kinderwagon and am unsure as to where a few of the pieces go  >:D
