bobandlucy Posted January 11 Share #1 Posted January 11 I've kind of drifted away from the Syren model for a while. . . I have always been attracted by the Doctor's Buggy from Model Expo, and decided to build it. I'm glad I did- it was a lot of fun. I'm done with the model and really did not take very many photographs. Hoping that one or two progress pics qualifies this as a "log." Body under construction: First attempt scratch-built Doctor's Bag, abandoned. The third attempt was successful, and consists of wood and wire frame and silkspan fabric: Body mounted on undercarriage assembly (tricky) and Doctor's Bag installed: Scratch-built Horse Whip under construction: Finished Buggy, mounted on display board: I did not get the wheels canted exactly right, but it seems stable and uniform, and will keep as is. This is not an entry-level model, but I was well-served by the education I received in the progressive Shipwright's series, and I was able to rise to the challenge. I have begun the Concord Stagecoach, also from Model Expo, and will try to do a more detailed log for that one. Hope you enjoy. . .

The Hubs are aluminum, furnished with the kit. I made the wheels using kit-supplied materials.
