WIP: Building a 1/3 scaled horse carriage

Recommended Posts

Rajke

The best thing about a hobby like this are the endless creative ideas. I love to see people showing their handmade items, outfits etc. 
The effort and stories are really inspiring. I cannot draw or sew but I can do some things with math, wood and 3D printing.

As the title mentioned it is a work in process project that I started in July. At first I wanted to build a scaled pirate ship but came to the conclusion that I miss some skills to build it. So because of that I thought of an alternative and came with the idea to build a 1/3 scaled horse carriage (that I call coach from now on). 😉

currently the cabin frame has been build and both sidepanels and have been made. Painting takes up the most time and I currently like how it comes together. 
 

pictures says a lot more than words:

3-DB80925-E2-EC-4-EE3-9451-07-AE9-DC917-

So far so good. Painting the sidepanels and creating the front and backpanel are next. 
That’s it for now. Will upload the next steps when ready. 😄

Very impressive! Looking forward on how this will come along.

I'd have imagined for a 1/3 scale pirate ship, the primary concern would be space and not skills... 😝

Thanks 😁

the ship would be a much smaller scale (I indeed did think about the biggest scale possible.) My biggest issue was that I couldn’t draw the necessary parts. I also had some issues when working out the frame at the front. 
 

The coach is total different but not less enjoyable. 😁 And this one will be big too. The challenge lies in the wheels and the weight distribution.

It will be a big project, the sizes of the cabin are 48 x 32 x 56 cm with the under frame, wheels etc it only get bigger. 😄 The cabin has space for 4 dolls.

Now you need some horses XD

Haha 😂 

True indeed. I have looked into 1/3 scaled horses but they are hard to find or very expensive. 🤔

And who knows, maybe I will find some on an event or something.

Small update with the frame attached. Haven’t got a lot of time because I moved to my new home last year. And remembered that I never shared this update here.

The cage parts have been painted in gold and has been attached. The door is a bit bending so I think I have to make some adjustments to that. Also parts like hinges are in preparation.

The ornaments on top have been removed. They are historical incorrect.

Did you find the 1:3 scale horses 🐎? I've just bought a SD outfit that includes a bird cage, so now I am sourcing a 1:3 scale bird 🐦.

Yes and no. I haven’t bought the horse(s) yet. But I did discover one shop and one person who makes some interesting horses. 
They go by the names Secret Loft Designs and Tiriaq BJD😃

Dolk had some horses at one point but I can’t remember if they were 1:3 or 1:4 🤔

I looked into this brand and they indeed made some horses in both scales. 1/3 was more common.

This might actually be a good solution. I do have a 3d printer.

Ahhh I knew someone's been talking about 1/3 horses! I saw a relevant post on instagram some time ago, but I didn't remember which thread was talking about the horses - I saved the post though so here you go:

TLDR: Frozen 2 Playdate Nokk (this one would need a good repaint to look realistic though) and Twinn Doll Horses might be worth looking into! 

There's also a thread about horses on DoA:
