    Default Kenworth T908 prime mover with sleeper

    Its been 7 months since the last model. This Kenworth is another toy for the Big Boy, the low loader will carry the Cat Excavator and the Cat, tracked bobcat, made previously.
    Its 12 to 1 scale , prime mover 620 mm long , with the low loader 1580 mm over all. Decals and sign writing are still to be done . Timbers used , Jelutong, blackwood , red cedar, ash, myrtle, pine and bamboo skewers. Sprayed with Mirotone lacquer.
    This could possibly be my last model as age , health of my wife and myself, a retirement village is on the horizon. regards c John W.

    G'Day John, WOW, what a magnificent model yet again sir...the detail is superb.
    I personally do hope you are able to continue your beautifully crafted wooden models for many more years to both inspire and spur on the rest of us...
    Always very much appreciating your craftsmanship, Cheers, Peter

    PS - John, would you please be able to add a few extra larger photos so the detail in the model can be seen closer, thank you...

    A fantastic model and look forward to the extra photo's

    It will be such a shame to see a great modeller unable to carry on and hope that you and your good lady have a happy retirement wherever you settle

    As usual John, magnificent. Sorry to hear that circumstances are taking their toll. All the best if it does come to a move. I hope you will have a bit of room to continue your pleasures.

    This is a great looking model. It's a shame to hear that your health holds you back from making fantastic models like these.
