    Default A Couple of Playable Ute's/Trucks

    A Couple of Playable Ute's/Trucks - A "King Cab" and a "Duel Cab"....

    Glued up some offcuts toget the required starting dimensions for the blank.

    I use a template for this truck but often vary size to make them all a little different.

    The smaller "King Cab" is 8" [200mm] long by 4 3/4" [120mm] wide and 4 3/8" [110mm] high.

    The smaller "Duel Cab" is 8 3/4" [220mm] long by 5 1/4" [130mm] wide and 4 3/8" [110mm] high.

    Shop bought wheels as are the furniture buttons used for the headlights and taillights.

    Three coats of my homemade Wipe-On-Poly to finish.

    Cheers Peter

    Great trucks Peter. Love the way you have finished them.
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
