Hi All,
And hi, VK. Nicely done ox cart. Did you scratch build it? I like that you included the lattice pattern under the fore and aft roof flairs. It looks like a tricky bit of design.
While I appreciate your decorated wheels, I'm very interested in the wheel seen on the original woodblock print. 21 spokes is a strange (and odd) number for a spoked wheel, but the genius is the way the spokes are let into the 14 segmented felloes. I don't recall seeing anything quite like that before. Whatever the case, the cart is so ornate and grand that it may have been too grand to have been drawn by a common ox. Maybe the eight priests were the intended power plant all along.
Your new cart scales in nicely with the rest of your figures and scenery, too. Well done all the way around.
Score and fold,
Thumb Dog
