Excellent work Bret, I like your jig for treading the wheels which just reinforces the old saying "there's more than one way to skin a cat" Great work in progress and photography is superb.

Thanks guys for your support. Hopefully the WIP is enjoyable for everybody I know I always like to follow someone along as they are building. The hardest thing is remembering to take pictures at each step.
Anyways I made the bridge tonight. The plans call for a piece of metal mesh but I thought it would be better to make something out of wood. So I came up with this.

Everything was going good until the middle when I got off on one due to woodchips in my way.

I decided to continue on and live with the mistake. Then I had a bit of thinking and tried something and only but the best eye can spot it now.

And if you are wondering there are 100 holes.

I worked on the front grill assembly today.
I routed two 3/8" grooves horizontally and then routed out the recess in the middle for the grill.

In the recess area I cut a piece of screen mesh to fit in the space. Then I made the outside pieces that are spaced evenly down the front.

Next I glued the mesh down with CA glue and painted all the recess areas gloss black.

Next step is to glue down the 1/8" x 1/8"strips and then paint the areas between them black.

It felt kinda of weird painting the wood but I don't think it would look right with a stain.
Later,
Bret

Wow I guess you are right! No wonder it took forever to drill all of them.

I have done a little more work on the truck not much. The grill assembly is finished and the side cab assemblies are all glued up now. I glued the 2 top steps on but have not decided how to glue down the mesh. I have also shaped the roof except for the corners which won'be done until it is glued on.
