A fun build! The wheels were the most challenging part, each spoke had to individually shaped then inserted between the hub and rim.

You do splendid, finely detailed work especially given the neuropathy in your fingertips.

Truly remarkable.

Saw this one over in Arizona.
Not sure if it’s the real deal or not.

Neuropathy or not, it's an amazing piece of work you did there!

Great professional looking work. What kit is it, or did you scratch build it?

 

[hsguy]

Thank you! It was built from a kit. Model Expo produce many interesting subjects and are great to deal with, if you break or lose a part the replace it at no charge.

I included a link to this kit, scroll down for the instructions and parts list. https://modelexpo-online.com/us-marshals-jail-wagon-1885-wyoming-territory.html

In keeping with the Western theme a few pictures of a buckboard wagon I made.

Those wagons are fantastic, what is the scale? I love stuff like this, scale modeling. As for building the wheels, watch this guy. Dave Engels is a wainwright, wheelwright, woodworker, blacksmith and more who does wagon restorations and reconstructions and lives in Joliet, Montana.

Just wow!!

Thanks for the fascinating video! The Marshal wagon is 1:12 scale as is the Buckboard. I enjoy building scale models, I have several more Civil War guns and vehicles. In addition I have built several boat models. A fun hobby.
