Hi guys,
While on a day trip to the Belgian coast (yup you read right, they have a coast!) we came across an old farm cart at an archaeological museum.
I have know idea how old this cart may be, but it looks very much like the carts that have been released by plastic injected manufacturers as of late.
Thought this may be of some interest to the dio guys!
Cheers,
Shay

Hi Shay
Great stuff thanks for posting. Certainly looks similar to the Masterbox model doesn't it.
Thanks again for posting images.

That's a great Walk Around - do you care if I turn it into a site based Reference so it can be forever in the features area?

Sweet pics. Shay , the best thing about them is the rusty metal bits. Good refs. for the scratching of the metal bits also , wheel rims and hubs , tounge metal work etc.

Thanks Shay,
i just bought the kit (for this price , no need to scratchbuild, shame on me).
Just the wood must probably be painted a newer look, not the greyish one.
Cheers
Claude
