What a spoil sport..You have to let them have a play..
Well perhaps not come to think of how destructive my nephew is...lol
he only has to enter a room and things get broke...little angle..lol
 
That's lovely Greggy. Very skilful work. I'd love to do something like this. Tho it'd be a Concrete Truck as my Dad owned a fleet of them in the 80's.
 
Proper mate :lol:

even has a sleeper cab


Quality :p

I know as I drive a LORRY for a living :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And its a Volvo :wink:
 
thanks guys for the nice compliments. the volvo wording is burnt on,
blister, its got two bunks :lol: :lol: all thats got to be done is put in the windows and headlights, i am also thinking about painting it up. but i think it may spoil it. what do you rekon
 
have you got a shot of how the wooden hinges are done? I can't picture it.
 
Greggy, lovely truck and I like the hinge detail. I wouldn't paint it as it detracts from the quality of the wooden construction, I prefer to "colour" my models by using different woods to create the illusion of different materials. Having said that I do spray parts like exhaust pipes for added effect. Did you make it from a plan?
