The last one was more of a taxi, this one is more a Family wagon, a one door hatch back, 2HP.
The most complicated part was the Suspension. Even though The straps are black, they aren´t meant to made of iron but black leather.
All the Little rings were handmade using the "chainmail " method and all the "ironwork" is made from thin card.
Getting the cabin to sit evenly on the Suspension straps was nearly impossible but a solution was found....simply cut a sheet of plastic to size, insert between the straps and the undercarriage and the cabin could be glued on using quite a bit of force without tearing the straps off or breaking the holding Posts.
The "Sports" and the "Family" Versions next to each other.
Finally, it´s the Weekend, the order has been completed on time and the carriage builders from the woodworkers firm Plancus et Filius can go home.
Beautiful modeling, Mr. Bods. You've persevered through the difficult steps and have achieved a fine collection of wagons.
