Model Horse Drawn Vehicles

caffolder · 07-02-2006

Just a note to let those interested in building scale model horse drawn vehicles, The Guild of Model Wheelwrights is a good place to get information on this hobby. The quality of craftsmanship on these models that the members do is amazing. They are a great group of people. They put on horse drawn vehicle model shows and membership entitles you to many benefits. http://www.guildofmodelwheelwrights.org/newsite03/index.html

Attached is a picture of an 1/8 scale Omibus that sits in my shop. If you also share this hobby I would like to hear from you. I can always use tips on how to do things easier, good web sites on the subject, where to get plans, tools or books. I’m still trying to find a good miniature rivet tool.

Hi Chuck,

Welcome to the scale models forum. Your picture shows us just how diverse our scale modelling can be and what interesting and unusual subjects we cannfind to model.

Your Omnibus picture is stunning and clearly demonstrates an incredible level of skill and dedication to this craft. I hope that you continue to share more pictures with us and find some other members with similar interests through the site.
