Dog/Wolf Cage (Wheeled Cage aka Mobile Cage)
Sometimes that piece you are missing for a custom is staring at you in the face for literally months and by some stroke of luck, you stumble upon it again and finally purchase it. This happened in the case of the Wheeled Cage.
Spectre’s posting about a massive Toysrus clearance encouraged me to visit my local TRU. I didn’t find the $1 Golden Compass figures but I found some “POTC: At World’s End” sets on sale; I scooped up two sets. Strangely enough, I had encountered these sets months ago at Kmart but never considered them useful. Big Mistake. Fortunately, Spectre’s posting gave me a second chance. Thanks Spectre. Thanks to Keenan for the 2 spare Timber wolves. Having them motivated me to make the dog cages. Two more reasons to love this website.
And so, the idea for a dog cage on wheels suddenly popped into my mind about a week later. The previous dog cage lacked a means of transportation. Sure marauders could find some way to hoist it but a mobile cage was more practical and ultimately cooler. So began the process of turning this idea into reality. And here it is:
I gotta say I’ve never had so much fun making a custom. I’m really proud of this one. It’s so small yet so detailed and so awesome. It features a real working lock mechanism. I’ve scooped up two more sets in order to make more.
