Hello from Greece!I would like to share with you one of my recent projects.The matter is for the photo below and whole costruction is made from scratch in 1/35:

It cought my eye,and loved it from the first sight.It is a scratchbuilt ambulance used by Home Guard in Home Front in 1939 and then,borrowing the main vehicle probably from royal mail vehicle.This kind of transport was used far since 1939(some 1910 brochoures were found in net)and used by RM,ice cream sellers,or cargo.
My first steps using as a base the wheels of tamiya german bicycle set,voyager photoetched parts,plastic rods,styrene,and a lot of patience.
















Thanx for watching,

If that only got bronze I'd like to see gold and silver.

Really nice job, creative and well executed.

Excellent job, I really enjoy seeing the out of the ordinary projects. Very nicely done.

Thank you for sharing with us.

Brilliant Zisis. A thing of beauty. I think you need to make sure you keep the dust off it.

A really neat build of a pretty unique subject. I would have given it a gold for originality.
Very cool.

Cheers,
Charles

That's a fascinating build and very well done!

How did the rider steer it?

Great! ... as already mentioned above.

yes, how was it steered?
How did you make the front little wheel?

First of all I would lke to thank you all for your comments.I am really flattered.
The front wheel was made by rolling up a a sprue round a pen,gluing it with cyano and let it dry wrapped in tape in order to take shape.Then add two pieces of photo etched spokes from an eduard set of WWI wheel wire discs.
The rider could manovre it by turning simply the steering wheel,in the main two wheel axle,there was a beam stuck in the left side.under the carriage which ended in the front whel in a ring.
so when you turn it wright the beam went back,so turn the front wheel back and tuurn right.
respectively when you turn it left,the beam went forward pushing the front wheel from the left side to turn it left.
My son who is two years old has a mini tricycle with a similar mechanism and a beam behind the trike in order to drive him until he can on his own.
That's all .

Zisis you've got all my congratulations, I really love your fine job!
