One of the most rarest medieval sets 3176
« on: February 14, 2012, 14:48:06 »
Here is my latest bargain, the impossible to find exclusive set 3176

Ok, it's missing one klicky and a couple of small pieces, but for just £6 off ebay I can't complain! <:> <:> <:>



I will now compare this wagon to the Western one, which I think we all thought they were just the same ;)

Me, and I'm sure others thought that this wagon was just the same as the 3278 - Covered Wagon, just with a different coloured canopy

Well, they are completely different! :o




The most obvious difference is the front:




Moving down, we find that the Western varient has a much longer 'wheelbase', and the green one has clips to the outside:




Here now we can see the full set of differences between the two (I aligned the front wheel hubs for comparison):




And finally the rears:

That's interesting Damo, I assumed they were the same wagon also. Can't wait to see George's reaction when he sees this.

Congratulations, Damo, and thanks for the extra information.

It will be interesting to see what George has to say.
