    ----------
    I worked on this some time ago and now I need to get it finished. Been too busy working on my mine cart. There are a few more things to cut and paint to make it all connect.

    Oh, and it WILL stand up - I just laid it out with one of each bone, but I made it fully 3D

    Cant wait to see this done. Was this drawn freehand or a pattern? Do you have pics of your mine cart? I know ,I know so many questions.........
    I am making a new mine cart myself this year as the old one finally fell apart.

    So, I took a diagram of a horse skeleton from online and put it into photoshop on a 4x8 grid to make sure they could all fit on the plywood I bought. Then with that grid laid out in 1 foot square blocks drawn onto the plywood, I free-handed the pieces in pencil and cut it with a jigsaw. Relatively easy, honestly.

    My minecart build is here: My Mine Cart - In Progress

    I'd love to see your mine cart as well. Do you have pictures? (perhaps the best place to reply to that question is on the other thread )

    Thanks, Gris. Stole the idea, so I can't take credit - but I do like how my implementation is turning out. I'll keep you posted.
