TRAVELING COACH COMPETITION

 After a short break, I'm back to building the Traveling Coach.

This work was supposed to be easy and simple to build, as it was also known as a coach for beginners or beginners in the F.B.C.G. contest, but it is not quite like that, the plans have many incongruities, imperfections, doubts and some errors, giving the also these plans were drawn by beginners. The photograph accompanying the plan also has some discrepancies.

A few more parts of the work already done, I hope you like to see.

As you can see the hardware for the front axle is already built and I have also given the first coat of paint.

 Today the construction of the Roman Chariot was completed. Here I send some photos of this construction that has a lot of history, the chariots started in the bronze and iron ages, they were perpetuated in Greek mythology, in the cinema Filme Bem Hur or even by the Apollo system that put the first man on the moon, it is also the my modest tribute to the late late great musician Vangelis, Chariots of Fire, was also recently discovered in Croatia Zagreb, a tomb with a Roman Chariot with two horses that archaeologists are investigating.
