Again, between ships… something different.
This time it decided to build a far-west cart, for which I was researching and looking for illustrations to make my design.
Using the techniques learned to bend the ship’s liner straps, I made the wheels out of one piece of wood, on which I embedded the spokes.
Thick copper wires served to shape the hood. I decorated the interior with some sacks, a trunk and some rolls of cloth. A turned lantern made of wood, brass wire and plastic hangs from the rear davit.
Behind the driver’s seat, a 6cm rifle made of a single piece of carved and polychrome wood. On one side, a barrel and its spoon, all made of wood. The brake handle is placed to the left of the driver.
I also made an articulated system (that works) and that when the brake is pulled, the shoes stop the wheels.
And to complete the set, a whip, rolls of rope, woods to make fire, pick and shovel, an axe… all made of carved and polychrome wood.
