Gypsy Wagon on the move

I posted about a gypsy wagon that a friend is building for a client a while ago - you can read the post here.

Well, the other day we got a call from our friends to ask if we could lend a hand to move the wagon out ready to be fitted to its wheels and its next stage of work.

I took some photos to show you the progress. ABOVE - some of the intricate painting on the wheel spokes, all hand painted.

BELOW - the back wheels (on the left) are huge and the front wheels have a turntable on the top for steerage. You'll need a staircase to get in and out of the wagon. In all it will be almost 4 metres tall when finished.

Here's the wagon BELOW - nearing completion and getting ready to be handed over to the artist for painting.

Note the gorgeous sash windows and the letter box in the front door. Such attention to detail and craftmanship - its a beauty to behold.

Here's another shot of the wheels - the back wheels are in the foreground.

To see what it will look like finished, take a look at my previous post on the wagon.

Its so much work, so intricate and so many man hours to build it, but it will be stunning when its finished.

Cheers,
Sonya
