#11 - Covered Wagon Chair

Builder: TK1420

The trail into the West was tough on all who traveled it, and anyone who undertook the voyage needed to carry all their necessities with them. Covered Wagons provided shelter and storage for westward pilgrims.

This model features all the essentials within easy reach of the driver; binoculars, lantern, and rifle.

See more photos of this model at my Flicker account here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35278452@N ... 662201161/

I live in Texas USA, Yee-haw.

#13 - Days of Yore

Builder: trackandtoll

Standard and basic simple boiler on back and house key on side. Needs someone to load boiler though.

Tranquility Says:

"Excellent, I won't lose my keys with this model."

#14 - CRO-MAGNON CHAIR!

Builder: 1482cheese

Including all the options one could dream of (in the days of Yore...), this is the CRO-MAGNON CHAIR!
It even has 2 wheels and a chair. Do note that w/those 2 wheels, it's quite advanced for its time!

And the mandatory link:

Made in the caves of France :wink:

Tranquility Says:

"Quite big, but when your home is literally cavernous, it works. I imagine it hard work going up hill though."

#15 - Wheel Chair Fit For A Queen

Builder: Dr Legostar

If one is going to have a mobile chair in days of yore it should be done in style, as such I present the Wheel Chair Fit For A Queen. In this case the "wheels" are four fairly muscular men, enjoy Louise.

For those who don't know me, I'm D. M. Jeftinija of Legostar Galactica and I live in the U.S.
Further views and pictures can be found in my gallery

I considered making Doyle and Dr. Sinister (as well as two others from the forums) as the guys carrying Louise but I decided against it at the last minute. Though I might change out the heads and take more pictures later, for personal amusement.

Tranquility Says:

"I suspect I enjoyed this one more than my fellow judges. Heh heh heh"

Tranquility Says:

"Indeed, very pimped. Not sure it scores in the practicality stakes. Looks a bit like a dragon-drawn barge."

#18 - The steamchair 2999!

Builder:Brikwarrior

Presenting!!!, ( dramatic pause ): The steamchair 2999! ( because inventions shouldn't always end in 3000 ).

After having been fatally wounded in battle, professor Wolfgang Von SteamBrick saved himself by creating a steampowered heart and lungs. Realizing the multiple uses of steam, he dedicated his life to inventing steam-powered devices to help humanity. This is his latest invention:

Tranquility Says:

"Another nice compact device."


#19 - The Mountain Wheelchair

Builder: sasjhwa

My entry is for the modern caveman. Absolutely useless on flat surfaces, this two ton machine is excellent for getting from the mountain village to the valley village in short order. With comfortable inclined seats made from the softest sandstone, the strongest granite wheels clams can buy and rock solid oak axles this machine will get you where you want to go in style.

And if your enemy's village is at the base of the mountain just plow through it and knock a few buildings down in the process!

This is an entry from the United States!

Tranquility Says:

"How do I get BACK from the valley to the mountain village, though? Also, sandstone, even the soft stuff, is not comfy!"
