Vintage Transportation: The Horse

Before the invention of engines, there were horses. Although they only possess one horsepower, they were the best possible mode of transportation. One could ride them, have them pull carts and wagons, and even move the heaviest of loads, when in groups. A good horse was not only man’s best helper, but also his friend.

 This diorama depicts a rearing horse in a deserted, wild west inspired setting. A discarded barrel and a broken wheel can be seen on the ground. The model is 20 by 18 cm wide and 22 cm high.

My favorite detail is the horse’s tail, which I achieved by passing four Lego strings through a brick with an axle hole.
