Title: Chuck Wagon - My First Western Build
Post by: Emma.J on December 02, 2009, 19:26:36

 :wave:  Hi

I've decided to venture into Western Playmobil next so here's my very first custom build... A Chuck Wagon!  8}

All I need now is John Wayne and a camp fire!

Emma.

But the collection of stuff together looks awesome! :wow:

Excellent work, as usual!   :wow: :wow:

(I think I watch too many movies, though.  When I think of cowboys eating, I can't help but recall that scene from Blazing Saddles.  Anyone who does not know what I'm talking about, you really don't want to know; it's a very silly scene, but I laugh every time.)

Your chuckwagon looks great, Emma.J. :wow:
I like the detail in the chuckbox, and in the  wagon itself.
The shelf on the side is perfect. :yup:

Wishbone would be proud to serve the trail hands out of that wagon! ;D

Happy trails,
Jimbo

(Wishbone is the cook in the T.V. series "Rawhide".)

I really love this custom, can't wait to see more of your creations :)

 :elf: Happy New Year All  :xmascheer:

Thanks all for the encouraging comments, I'm having a break from customising Playmobil at the moment I'm itching to rebuild my fairytale palace - I've got huge design plans for it so I'll be having a go at the western stuff at the end of Jan/Feb I think.

 :wave: Pirateclick,
the little items are mostly doll's house items, the potatoes and veg are made from polymer clay. Potatoes are small balls of off white clay lightly rolled in dark artists pastels and poked with a pin head to create the eyes. You could do the same with plaster just mix it quite thick so you can shape it and roll in a bit of fine soil! :lol:

Great custom, Emma!  I think you've done a better job than Playmobil could have!  Happy New Year to you!  :cham:
