Lego model of bicycle pulling a trailer with a tree and an axe on it

Sichtaxt

This model is a tad more personal than most of mine.

It's based on a parade float I pulled at the carnival in 2019, flanked by a group dressed as trees. It was protesting the high amount of trees being removed in the city, often for no other reason than looks. The axe is a pun on the German term "Sichtachse" (line of sight).

For those not familiar with Rhenish German culture, German carnival ends in a big parade of satirical floats and costumed groups in several major cities along the river Rhine.

The model got a bit large compared to the original.It also looks much more better.

Apparently, Bricklink and Rebrickable disagree on whether the bicycle frame exists in medium azure. So you will find a black one in the inventory here. Which is really funny, because in reality this float was supposed to be pulled by a blue bike but I had to swap that out in the last second for a black one due to a missing key.
