Streetcar anyone? No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

Sometimes I get tired of building furn so for a change of pace I build wood toys, well there not toys really because they are much to fragile for kids. I have always liked street cars and trains so thats what i usually build for the wood models, you can buy plans to build toys and I have done that for a some of them but this street car is not to scale, I just built it using a small plastic one i have. This one is built from maple and walnut and is about 20” long and 7” tall, it took aprox 100 hours or so to build.

Beautiful streetcar – you do really nice work. Bet it requires a LOT of patience and really good eyesight.

Fantastic! Now slap some dark green paint on it, and it will look just like one of our New Orleans streetcars.

I searched all the previous posts for the word ‘desire’ before I used it it a punny way & finally spotted it hidden in Charlie’s photograph! That’s one heck of a lovely model.
