    Embarrassed Glad to find this place and I need advice please

    Hi. I need some guidance in how to collapse a stagecoach on stage. It's real size. I would like the roof to cave in first, then perhaps 2 sides. THe other 2 sides can stay standing. I have rubble surrounding the bottom around 2-3 ft high to hide anything that we might use to do this. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks a bunch!!

    The roof can hinge to the back and flip over and off, the sides can hinge in the middle and collapse inward so the wholde thing is just the thickness of the five sides.

    With a good number of loose pin hinges and some tie line, anything is possible. If you make the roof be the "keystone" for the whole thing it should come down on top of itself. Buy yourself some Rosco loose pin hinges and you should be set. Build/hinge the thing in the opposite way it to fall.
