Overall, I like this coach, something about the shape really appeals to me. However, I have a couple of nitpicks.

My main problem is that the only attachment to the horses is through those chains. The driver has no control, other than his whip. Also if they go downhill at all, the coach will roll forward into the horses. I guess if he whips them enough, they will stay ahead of the coach. :)

The other nitpick is minor. If he is Lord Farquadd, why is he wearing a crown?

Build On,

Great cart MOC. It looks great. I really like the driver, as well as the way that the lord fits inside so realistically. (Doesn't look out of place.) My only complaint is that the triangular shapes on either side, (where the driver sits and where the treasure is) makes it look too much like a boat. Other than that, excellent.

Echoing Josh, I think this shape is great.
I would like to see a little work on the horse attachment but some of my stuff don't work on the incline either.
Humble servants dress in only the best armor in your world too I see.
Also shouldn't a lord have some mounted escorts on his heels.
Very nice though, hope to see more.

The cart is a little compact for my taste, but still a nice MOC. Good to see so many castle MOCs in your Brickshelf Gallery.

God Bless,

Nathan

Looks good, but I think you could use that set of parts LEGO uses for it's 2-horse carriages/wagons.
