Another superb model, Radish. I’m really enjoying seeing these.

 

It took me a while to work out the arrangement for locking the bed in place so that it doesn’t tip, as it’s different from the peg-and-holed-bar system that I’ve seen on other tip carts, but this setup is ingeniously simple.

 

Very nice.

Dammit man!!! That looks GREAT!! And all scratchbuilt too. BONUS!! I feel fairly comfortable in my modeling but there's always room for improvement and you sir........are an inspiring builder. Great work.

Beautiful model of an unusual subject.

 

"Tipping dray," "Tasmanian Myrtle," "Fellies" — terms I'd never heard until following Moa to this thread. Who says modeling can't be educational? But "Tasmanian Myrtle" somehow conveys an image of a stout woman owning a bar frequented by sailors!

 

And with apologies to all Tasmanians, I wish them Happy Holidays!

This is really something! Unique, well made as well as honouring the way it was once made! Very educational indeed as @Space RangerRanger said. Keen to see more of your collection!

As an aside I would really like to see a workflow of modellers like yourself who scratch builds items as compared to say kit modellers as the differences may be stark and heaps to learn from. Maybe a "Behind the bench" thread??!!
