    Red face Mercedes Garbage Truck

    Good morning folks.
    My 2yr old Grandson's birthday next week and he is obsessed with the waste truck that comes by each week. He goes out to wave to him and he gets a horn toot from driver. Loves buses and anything construction. So not sure whats next time. Anyway's this has taken a while to make ib spare time. Started with the basic plan from Toymaking Plans to get the cab - then winged the rest of it by adding some chassis length, rear section, arms etc etc. This driver doesn't need mirrors that would just get knocked of by the arms . This is only my 4th toy build and thouroughly enjoying the challenges of each project.
    Cheers.
