Anyone? A mock-up maybe? Quick and Dirty?

Don't have the part, and it seems complex enough... Do you have the possibility to make detailed photos from all viewing angles?

OK, I will take these pictures. Thanks in advance.

I started mocking up but am not very good at it.
I do think most parts are like other existing parts though. Perhaps you can assemble from other parts?

This is from Bricklink:



Brickset:


The seat looks like the minifig seat.

Handle looks like 98397

Wheel holder front looks like 98288

Wheel holders is like wpin2 or wpin



Wheel looks like the wheel from the bicycle:


Wheelchair:

Center is like 4624 I think

I took some pictures and shared an album with you.

P.s. This is the best (worst) I could do.

Jaco, Philo the wheelchair is available at Mecabricks, there you can get a glimpse of all directions

Can't we convert from that?
How did it get in there?

b.) I guess Scrubs (Nicolas) modeled it by himself.

a.) Technically it is fairly easy to convert. Think of the LDD source, but add more detail. I am just trying the wheelchair myself, still quite some work to get the file down in size. However I do not know, respectively I could not find anything on Mecabricks, under which license the library exists. So, I think it might be a good idea and fair to check with him.

It isn't, it's a custom library and file format, optimized for 'modern technologies' (and especially rendering). Bricklink's stud.io does use LDraw.

Wheel is done...

Hi Gerald,

I see you are working on this part and read that is done (more or less) but you need to reduce the file size.
Can you please share the part file with me so I might use it?

Thanks.
