Scratch built balsa Gypsy wagon (Vardo)


Recommended Posts

My first attempt at something a bit different! A Romany caravan! No plans, no scale, in at the deep end! Just finished base & wheels, all hand carved from pieces of balsa. Long way to go before the grand plan materialises, with realistic, glowing wood burning stove, parrafin lamps, & other furnishings etc. All comments welcome. Cheers. Andy.

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.
