MOC: Street Vendor

[Ricecracker]

I've seen many people making small street vendor-type MOCs, like hotdog stands or ice cream carts. So I thought I'd join in on the action, with my Sausage Cart.

100$ will buy a lot of sausages! It looks great, if this was a set I'd buy a few.

Thanks! I started out by having it as a trailer, like the hotdog stands that we have here in the city, but it wasn't working out, so I decided to make it a bike.

Yes, yes it will. I didn't really feel like getting out my coins, so I stuck with the bill.

That is great, looks spot on. Really nicely in scale, the bicycle wheels look perfect!

If you ask me that Minifig has got one of those untrustworthy faces, where he might just try to rip off unsuspecting tourists, and not give them that much change from the bill!

Excellent creation Ricecracker! It turned out very beautiful. I really like the way the parts are being used and the details such as the gauge.

Great work!

Thanks! Well, he is part of the mafia

Thank you. The gauge was something that had to be put on, because of the piece I used to connect it to the top. I'm glad you like it.

That's brilliant! I really like its clean and simple look. Like stated couple post above, I would also buy this if it came as an official set :)

Great job, but if the wheels are only on the left side, wouldn't it topple over? Good job on the design though!

That's the comment I always love hearing. So, thank you!

The front wheels are on both sides, the back wheel is one side. It works fine, so I think I'll leave it.

I took away the poll, as I got what I needed out of it.

Definitely keep the bicycle, it's so clever how you've done it. The details are great, though if you do expand to a trailer I would love to see!

Batbrick Away!

I might make it as a trailer, just to see which is better, then decide.

Nice little MOC, very well designed I really think you should keep it as bicycle, it's more original and not so "already seen" idea

[Perterz]

I'd say keep it as a bike mainly for its originality and 'simple' build. Maybe just center the rearwheel ;)

[Ricecracker]

Maybe just center the rearwheel ;)

I'd love to, just let me know how .

I finished the GMC Safari, and I'll try and have pictures up today or tomorrow. I think I'm going to leave the cart as-is, as I think it looks better as a bike.
