Playmo rickshaw
« on: April 03, 2006, 14:49:30 »
Hello again, Playmofriends,

This rickshaw was made from the carriage in kit 5600.  The front end was removed, and the back section was narrowed to accommodate one figure.  The drawbars are made from mahogany.  (I think.)  This was inspired  by the Oriental cook in an old pirate theme kit.

All the best

Jimbo-san

That's a really neat custom, James.

The rickshaw is great and yet again the colour scheme is brilliant but what else I like is the custom hat very nicely done. :)

You're right, garry.  I never really noticed the hat, it just fitted in so perfectly, but of course it is a custom and not PM.

It's brilliant! :D

What a clever adaptation. And it looks so natural, like an officially produced article! 8-)

Thanks for sharing, Jimbo-san. ;D ;)

I have just seen all that you have shared with us, in my period of absence.
I couldnt keep repeating myself.

Knowing that you were an aeronautical engineer explains some things.
You clearly plan very carefully before you start to build.

Your customs are awesome
