Progress is progressing! Slowly but slowly. Other side of wagon interior now done. Woodburner bit of a challenge. Too many tiny "fiddly" bits. Especially the logs. Trying to make something real, gathered from the garden actually look real, by burning on a flame from a cig lighter! Without totally torching something so tiny, was another challenge! All comments welcome. Cheers, Andy.

Progress so far. Made a start on inside.Just added one working lamp for now, for effect. Roofwork all ready for canvas cover. Next challenge! Then woodburner. All comments welcome. Andy.

hi skip its going to be round like the old bow top vardos ive got abit further ive done the front and the back now ive put some pics on here of the progress so far.

 

That thing is freakin' SWEET!!..Man I want one!!... It reminds me of the stuff my grandfather would build when he was alive.. seeing this build is bring back memories! he just used Bass wood and stuff.

 Thanks Derick. Cant beat old skool eh? Trying to do it as close to original vardo as I can. So much intricate detail in these though! Will be fitted out with glowing effect wood burning stove, etc. What is bass wood exactly? Is it ply wood? UK terms?

thanks ray not sure what scale it is though it was an idea i had so it was built with no plans or scale in mind really ive still got all the furniture to make for the inside and the roof to make as well.
