Not your typical model. . .

Well, been in MI since June. Grandson's birthday was in September so wanted to build him a wagon because he enjoys the daily "safari rides" I take him on with a borrowed little red wagon from his Great Grandmother.

That wagon turned into a covered wagon which I then decided to go all out and build a stagecoach. . .

While it's not your typical model, it's got four wheels an is miniature. . If ya consider 3.5 feet wide and almost 7 feet long and 5 feet high miniature. . .lol. . .

Scratchbuilt . . . no plans. . . The lights are solar so they light up for night rides. . .lol. . .The lettering was just about done and he wanted to go for a ride. All complete now. . .

Sorry for the big pics.

Oh, and the interior has had carpet installed and seats are upholstered in a vinyl that looks like tooled leather. . .:)

Very very cool! The carpeting and the upholstery make it just that extra awesome. That's bound to become an heirloom. Fantastic work!

not my style, but nicely done. Do you have a small pony to pull it?
