Heres one for a brain storming session.
Director wants a stage coach on stage for our Panto!.
Due to lack of wing space (I'm talking 4' each side) and no real backstage area for which i could store a good quality stage coach. Figuring an outline cut out of two 8 x 4 sheets of ply.
Anyone got any better ideas or anyone know of a good outline to use, thinking i may need to just look at some pictures and freehand draw it on the 8 x 8 space i'll make.
Cant be much bigger than 8 x 8!
Would love to know if anyone has done anything like a stage coach before or has any other cool ideas!
Cheers all!

I just recently make something similar for a production of Into the Woods. I searched around for a picture of something similar to what I had in mind and projected it onto lauan and traced the outline. I ended up freehanding a bit to get exactly what I wanted, but the system worked well and the end product was very good.
