Suggested paint colors for the various items are shown in the finished project photo. Other color combinations can be used as desired.

Paint the wagon body brown as the first step. You may add gold or black trim decorations, etc., to the wagon body as you like. The wagon tongue can be the same color as the wagon body.

The wheels can be left natural with the polyurefhane sealer and the rim and spokes added with a permanent black fine tip pen. Make 16 spokes in the wheels. First do vertical and horizontal spokes. Keep dividing the space between the spokes to get 16. Make a black or gold center hub. Don't paint "he hub on the inside of the wheels where they will be glued in place.

The oxen bodies can be reddish brown or other colors of choice. Make the tip of the tails white. Paint the feet white and when the paint is dry, make the hooves black with a fine point felt tip pen. Use the black pen to make the harness collars as seen in the finished photo. The horns can be an ivory color. Use black dots for the eyes. The seat can be a light green with black trim lines.

Assembly

The wheels can be glued "0 the ends of the axles easier if a gluing fixture is used. Fig. 3 shows the wagon body sitting on the glue fixture in position for gluing wheels in place. The glue fixture is simply a 1/4" thick piece of wood that is narrower than the axle length. Note: the wheels are glued on after the painting is completed. Clean any paint off of the ends of the axles before gluing. Be careful to keep the ends perpendicular to the axle. Setting the bottom of the axles on the wood strip will hold them at the right height to center the wheels on the ends of the axles when they are glued. This will also insure that all four wheels sit evenly on the mounting base.

Glue the seat to the floor of the wagon body so it is just a bit behind the front end of the floor. The next step is to use a toothpick and put a tiny bit of white glue in the "notches" at the top of each side. Make sure you earlier "formed" the canvas top into a curve so you can set if in place.

This project can be assembled on a wood base or on a stiff piece of paper such as green file folder material, as seen in the photo of the finished project. Make the base from a 2" x 5" piece of green file folder material. It can have round corners or be trimmed to whatever shape looks best.

The oxen need to be positioned so the front end of the tongue is next to the harness collars. Set the pieces in place on the base and adjust their positions until they look okay. Pick up and glue one of the oxen in place first with a tiny drop of glue on the bottom of each leg. (If you use white glue, put a drop on a scrap of paper and use the end of a toothpick to transfer a very small amount to the bottom of each leg.)

Next glue the tongue into the hole in the front axle. This should be a snug fit and the tongue can be placed in an inclined position. Put a small drop of glue on the tongue where it will contact the belly of the first ox. Then put tiny drops of glue on the bottom of each wheel and set the wagon in place. Move the second ox out of the way when you put the wagon in place. Make sure the front of the wagon tongue stays in place by the harness collar on the first ox. After this, the second ox can then be glued in place. Put a tiny drop of glue on the wagon tongue where it will contact the second ox and on the bottom of each leg.&
