You may not be impressed with it but I am! :smiley: 8)
@Frank. We are our own worst critic. You did an excellent job on modifying the cart and adapting the figure and horse to fit.
Story - I may have to build that, since I have the donkey and rider. Sourcing the wheels shouldn't be difficult and the cart seems to be just netting dangling from a wooden frame. It even looks suitably post apocalyptic.
... If metal is available, leaf springs would make life in a cart a bit less apocalyptic.
draft animals would be fairly easy to acquire.
I can see Vitto Morgenson doing his best to avoid cannibals while on The Road.

Swedish names all sound the same!
Sorry, I was trying to make a Kurt Russel / The Thing joke. But that is interesting about Viggo and my comments stand about the cart looking well at home on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/)

On proportions, I'm wondering if the poles are too long? In many images of donkey carts, the driver is tucked up much closer to Eeyore's butt.
Frank the model is coming along nicely, but those instructions :o
Probably the worst I have seen where the pictures look nothing like the model itself. Terrible stuff ;D ;D

Do you want to be that close to a donkey's ass? Compared to Story's reference picture, I should move the poles closer to the donkey's front shoulders. I'm still considering putting the rider o the donkey, since it would simplify construction...
If that were only a Citroen 2CV drawn by two horses...
There are two plastic 2CV kits - Heller in 1/43 and Revell in 1/24. There's a 1/35 2CV in paper: https://www.paperdiorama.com/paper-models/2-cv-collection-vol-4/ (https://www.paperdiorama.com/paper-models/2-cv-collection-vol-4/)
I've discovered that I lack the patience for scratch building horse hitches and the skill for paper models...
