Artillery Towing

I made four of these vehicles.

The first cars were often boxy and looked much like horse drawn wagons.

Sometimes they would only seat a few people.

This one has spoked wheels and they are in motion so they look clear.

I added a trailer hitch to the back, one of the early ideas was to use them to tow artillery on roads anyway.

I used and Airfix pilot figure as the driver.

Here it is towing a 3 inch gun.

Probably no faster than about 5 or 6 mile per hour, as wooden wheels on artillery don't travel well on speeds faster than that.
 

White Rings

I went to Michaels and Hobby Lobby and got four sizes of cabone rings.

They are used by ladies who sew stuff.

I am not really sure why.

They are plastic ring with a circular cross section.  The plastic is soft and does not glue well.
 

 

In real life vehicle tires were made out of natural rubber and were white until about 1915 when they started adding chemicals to the rubber to make it last longer, and turning tires black.  So I made an old time car using these white rubber tires.
