The reconstruction in the Shire book is a 1:8 scale model!
A number of us have discussed at length how we'd build a full scale chariot, and it still comes up from time to time. We've come to grips that we aren't going to have any horses any time soon, never mind an appropriate breed to pull the thing. Making the wooden parts and harnesses, etc. is easy. The only difficult part is shrinking the tyre on the wheels, but wheels can be custom ordered affordably. Yea, if we had horses, we'd be riding.
Nice work Johnny! The helmet even feels right on this picture. I like it very much.
