Farm Wagon

Post by Stephen »

Here's a little farm wagon I made to bring hay for the knight's horses. I used two tower wall sections to make the bed. It's kind of strange to build, but it stays together quite well once it's built.

Wow...I love that use of those castle wall corner pieces. Glad it stays together well, from the looks of it it wouldn't...that's a great idea. :)

Nice wagon. Better not put that hay in the barn while it's still green though.

Hi Stephen,

Your wagon is excellent. I really like the snot construction with the wall panels. It reminds me of the boat alternate set of 6060 Knight's Challenge: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=281386

This cart is big but looks very useful. The pieces are common so a moc like this could have been made 15 years ago - I think that is cool. You could have a medieval "Great Escape" scene with you cart and pitchforks :wink:

Thank you for making instructions. I always like to see more castle instructions.

Well done! Very good use of corner panels. Thanks for providing instruction, by the way.

I've bookmarked your page. One day I will build it. It's an excellent and imaginative use of the corner wall pieces. I never would have thought of it myself. Thanks.

Stephen,
That is really cool! I will have to steal that idea for a cart someday.

I really like this wagon and having instructions for it is even better. :D The use of the wall panels is probably my favorite feature and one I will be sure to use in my next cart.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

As everyone before me has said:Nice use of the corner panels.

And if you don't mind I will steal the idea.

Good design! It's great to see the castle wall pieces used inventively. I've added a link to this thread in the "cart" entry of my LEGO Castle Tech page.

I'm glad everyone enjoys the wagon. I spent a few days figuring out how to attach the wall sections sideways, it seems like it was worth the effort.

Feel free to "borrow" or "steal" or improve on the idea in any way. That's what ideas are for.
