    Default Norm Marshall Model T Ford Ute

    After making a Norm Marshall Model T Ford Ute for some people who asked for one,
    I decided to make one for myself & the grandsons here at home.
    I have 3 for myself at home; 1 for my "canuck" friend and 1 I've sold;
    but I have 1 more in parts ready to start building.
    I hope others are encouraged to also have a go at these toys.
    They are an easy build, strong & robust giving heaps of fun to little boys & girls.
    Cheers, crowie

    Yes Ross, only one is sold....
    One's going to Canada as a gift.
    Three are staying here for the grandsons to play.
    The 6th one in pieces in the shed may either be given away or sold if I'm lucky....lol.
    Cheers crowie

    Thanks Artme, No frtish but they are a great toy to make and you can personalize each one with little modifications. The ute is my own design.
    Ross, I forgot 1 which I gave to a mate for his granson so that'll be 7 once I finish the one in the shed. It'd be nice to think that I could start selling them with orders but I don't want the pressure. It's more fun making them & giving them away.
    Cheers, crowie

    Default T model

    Pete, What a great toy for all the kid's. They look terrific & solid. Almost unbreakable.
    You have done well. Have you thought about ebonising the wheels for a slightly different look. Just a thought.

    Peter,

    You might need to make a garage for them all to park in. Sure the grandson would love that. Maybe a supersized version of you matchox size one.

    Lovely collection I agree with the fact about just changing the back and you change the imagination

    A garage more like a car showroom at the rate crowie makes them.

    I'd be shot if I were to make a toy garage big enough to house the Model T Fords.

    As it is I have run out of room for what I've already made; though thank Bret & Derek for the suggestion - it's been filed....lol.

    Thank Jim for for the suggestion on the wheels, we have Steve's ebonising thread in the best of the best toymaking section; I'll have to think on it.

    Cheers, crowie
