failed stagecoach 1

One day a couple months back, I decided to build a stagecoach. I have no idea why, it was just this sudden urge out of nowhere.

 

I started out with an interior that could comfortably fit four passengers, and then quickly found out why I'd never seen a really good Lego stagecoach -- Lego doesn't make a wagon wheel big enough. I had to scale it down. And scale it down again. And again.

 

Stagecoaches had huge wheels. My stagecoach, here shrunken to the point that it only fits two passengers, and the driver and guy riding shotgun can't sit side by side like they're supposed to, and sacrificing amenities like a door, is still too big for its wheels. Very annoying. Lego Group, while you're resurrecting and rehashing old product lines, bring back the Wild West and give us some properly large wagon wheels!

 

So anyway, I've been staring at this thing for a few months now, wondering whether it's worth it to build the diorama around it that I'd intended -- a little canyon, with some bandits in ambush -- and I've decided no. Screw it.
