Forestman's Wagon

[WesternOutlaw]

Yesterday, I spent the better half of the evening trying to re-create the old Forestmen set, 6042 Crusader's Cart. While this is not an exact replica due to piece variety/colors, it is based on the original set with the addition of my favorite of the new LEGO Minifigure series, Foresman/Robin Hood.

My photo edited picture didn't come out that good (due to the original image), so I will share a few more pictures this afternoon including the clever little hiding place for another Foresman. I must say that I really regret missing out on these fantastic sets during my long Dark Age period.

Here's the new set, Forestman's Wagon:

EXCELLENT cart 'The Brickster' !

Nice design and is that Little John driving it ?

I'm a conformist! !

Ohh, interesting model, only maybe better replace one big brick in horse`s back on several small.

Thanks LT. I was going for Robin Hood - but Little John is actually a great idea for another Forestman Fig (in fact I was known as Friar Brown in another life )

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

Here's those additional images I promised:

The ingenious design allows you to lift the wagon and hide a minifig inside:

Closing it back up looks like this:

Pretty clever design, isn't it?

Very nice. You even used the new forestman figure and an extremely shiny horse!

Thanks. I've updated the initial image once again for a more foresty look. I think I like this image better.

I like the way you have rebuilt some of these old sets.

I like the way you have rebuilt some of these old sets.

Thanks MO. It's fun to do so, esp. with ones like this that I never owned. Personally, I think these sets are timeless - makes me want to build more.

Hurray for the Forestmen! The cart is really nice!
