wine transport wagon

Hello to all friends of my blog. It was my idea that this would be my last construction, the delivery van, but a friend of mine was delighted with this work, so he asked me to build this wagon with 3 mules behind it, which belonged to his great-grandfather. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for me, as I have never built a building from a photo before. It will therefore be a great adventure to do this work, especially with trailers, I'll try and see what I can do. Here I leave the photo, very old beginnings of the 20th century.

DELIVERY VAN

Today, the coupling of the delivery van was practically completed, with the construction of the harness and the seal, it remains to make the display case for some small final adjustments. This was a bit of a delicate job to do, I had never hitched a harness or harnessed it before, but it was a very interesting experience for friends who visited my exhibition and asked me why I didn't have a harnessed horse in my miniatures. Hope you like to see. I made a short film to show the features that this car has, although the quality is not very good, you can see how the brakes, flashlight and tailgates work, greetings to all and thanks for following this compilation.

DELIVERI VAN

Many people who visit my miniatures of coaches and carriages at the coach museum ask me why I don't have any with horses harnessed, mainly for two reasons, 1st all the originals I reproduced didn't have horses harnessed and also because the space they occupy in the windows it would be unaffordable to transport, store and display. Recently a friend offered me this beautiful specimen, built by him, I had the idea of attaching it to this delivery van, which has the particularity of being able to be taken by one or two horses, to satisfy the desire of my friends.
