    I have a couple of lasers on which I will often try to laser cut items that I wish I had in plastic since I don't have plastic injection capabilities. These photos are of the first tire and rim I cut for my circus work and cargo wagons. The hub isn't painted and I'm not fond of the pin head on the axle so will continue to work out the kinks. In the meantime I have ordered resin truck tires to put on my work wagons in time for the Medford N convention. Next up are a couple photos of cage parade wagons and then a bleachers kit I just finished designing.

    (unfinished) Circus Parade Wagons

    Obviously these are not completed but I am in the middle of lasering about 6 or 7 different ornate parade wagons for the N convention coming up all too quickly.

    Circus or multipurpose bleachers

    Everyone wants a good seat for a parade so I made these bleachers. They will have colorful decal flags/pennants for across the fronts and these will soon be available as kits. They are made completely out of wood and are quite sturdy and fun to build.

    The bleachers would work well for a small baseball or football (American or otherwise) field as well.

    Are you planning to offer the circus wagons for sale?

    Cage arena and tiger in the fire

    Yes, I will have several finished for the convention next week then after that I hope to get them on our site. I have also been having some fun with more circus accessories. One is a cage arena for the big cats and another is a tiger jumping through a fiery hoop. I hurriedly put together a setup of the progress yesterday out in the sunshine for photos. This is by no means a finished diorama but one will be finished for the show.
