Kelrob,

Looks fantastic. All of the models you have built from Toys and Joys look like the ones on their website. Would you be able to take a shot from the back of the truck. I am curious do the plans have any detail in the suspension? One more question did you scroll saw the slots in the wheels or did you drill from the back at an angle?

Wow Thanks Bob,

What a great set of models you have to look at everyday. I suspected the truck didn't have a full suspension. I myself having OCD would have to modify that part. But the wheels are freakin' awesome. And the plan is ingenious. Sometimes things are so simple but look complicated. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bob for the photos of you rig.
The excavator, lowloader look great behind your truck.
Very nice use of timber for the contrast.
Cheers, crowie
