Those of you who enjoy tabletop scenery and such may like this.
Linky goodness
I am happiest about the way the wheels turned out. I used hole drills, a smaller bolted inside the larger and cut them out of basswood. The spokes are toothpicks that I inserted through the wheel after some careful drilling. There was less than a millimeter of material on either side of the hole. The hubs are styrene with wood glue to give a solid hub look.
Four minis fit inside, two on the driver's bench, and two more on the luggage rack.
The carriage body can be removed if the players want a modified carriage.
It is out of scale with the horses, but that is a consequence of making the carriage fit the minis. I can live with it...sort of.
This carriage is for a new Savage Worlds Rippers campaign I am starting next month.

Actually that look awesome. I'd never built something that intricate.

Thanks very much.

That's pretty awesome. Rippers looks like a blast. I've never played Savage Worlds but it seems like a pretty sweet RPG system.

I've got pdf's of the system if you want.
I like how streamlined the system is. Combat flows pretty smooth and works well with minis. It also rewards using cover and tactics rather than rushing in to the fray. My former DnD players will be have to get used to that. Plus, exploding dice. I do love that mechanic.
