New project: Gypsy Vardo Update 16/12/14

[snitcythedog]

Just some photos of the Gypsy Vardo that I am currently working on.  More photos on my blog.  Built of card stock, coffee stirrers and some green stuff details.  I still have to work on the interior and the actual wagon parts.  Hope you like.

Nice start!
I've always fancied building a scale one too, but never could find an excuse to actually start one... couldn't shoehorn it into any of my projects. 
I'll be following this one vicariously.

Really really cool.

Nice work, Snitchy.
The green stuff details really set it off.
 

Looking forward to progress reports.

I had two hours this morning to do a bit of cabinetry. 


Hope you like.

Work has been slow since I am currently setting up my hobby bench.  Here are a couple of shots.  There is a new folding table, stove and some bits and pieces added.  Sorry about the lighting, I live in a old house with useless fixtures.


For the wagon wheels I made one a while ago.  I used this as a master for an Instamold press mold.  A couple of days later I had four good wheels. 

Hope you like.

Nice progress - I want some in 15mm, you've shown it's possible to make them. Thanks for the inspiration.

Go Snitchy! You are a master builder, its looking great 

A question if I may... what glue do you use to attach the balsa to the styrene sheeting?

Many thanks
Matthew.

Thanks for the compliments all.  CB, I am not using styrene sheet.  The whole thing is paper mattboard and basswood coffee stirrers.  I am using wood glue if that helps.  I used a edged sculpting tool to scribe the planks into the surface of the mattboard before adding the basswood.  Again, thanks for the comps all.

Oh sorry I did miss that in your original post, but it did look like styrene.

Card and wood glue makes more sense. A very nice job your doing of it as well. I like the little details.

Cheers
