    Sadly, not this time. Not enough time to make this kind of wagon. It's for a kids camp with a pioneer theme, and we don't need someone to be in the wagon. So because of the time, we'll probably just do something more 2D possibly. If I was more handy with woodwork maybe I'd attempt it :)

    I did my studio a little different I mounted my stuff straight to the ceiling and added all ball heads to my strobe lights I got a 360 degree left right and 180 up and down wich is perfect for me. And I still use a c stand to do my product photos with and my camera on a ball head also got 360 degree movement and 360 up and down

    For this build, I used half-inch polyurethane foam for the under structure. You can buy it in a roll at Jo-Ann's or Walmart. You can use fleece from Joanne's hard to work with it's much better to use fleece with a knit back but that's harder to come by and usually needs to be special ordered. I would recommend checking out PuppetPelts.com .

    Rather than spray painting the welding rod black, how about using heat shrink tubing? it goes on fast and you just use a hairdryer to get it to shrink around the rod.
