Trailer looks fantastic. Love the details you made with the brads and the individual boards.

Its going slow im working to make sure everything fits good before glueing.
Cheers Mc

Looking like a very good fit. Going to be a great looking truck!

Pld I had to remake the firewall it was a little to narrow and the doors didn't match up with the hood.
these things happen you just have to fix it and move on.
cheers Mc

Hi Mc,

Your truck is coming up a real treat. Looking great. Good stuff.

Good progress and top attitude "Mc"..... It is starting to take shape, well done...cheers, crowie

I made a bit of progress today working on the front axle, I didn't like the axle shown in the print I wanted an axle that looked like a real axle.
This is what I came up with, I have a bit of finishing to do yet.
Cheers, Mc

Very good indeed looks like a front style axle. Better than just a block of wood with holes in either end

Great improvement!
