Victorian Fire Engine

Hi while waiting for paint and glue to dry on a Western Chuck wagon I decided to have a go at a Victorian Fire Engine 8}
A quick build on a converted coach. I still havent the nerve to try converting a car yet like lots of you guys! :o

Emma.





Improvise, adapt, overcome ..... If all else fails FAKE IT!

That is a great fire engine! :wow:  I wanted to do a horse drawn engine as well
but chickened out...made one out of a Victorian car/truck instead.

Great detail for sure, and the fire crew is excellent! :yup:

Looking forward to seeing your chuckwagon as well.

Best regards,
Jimbo
