I love the wheels and the gable roof, you'll be OK if the Gold Coast ever gets a metre of snow.

Thanx Brent, the wheels were 'pot plant trolleys' on casters, just sprayed them black, wiped over with turps to show the woodgrain and coated Clear on them. the doohickeys holding the wheels in pairs was a simple draw copy I jigsawed out
It would turn some heads if I moved with a jetski trailer or get some train wheels and use the rail network
