The Fleet
I have just finished these 5 Light Tankers (old prototype in the background) to sell at our up coming Fire Brigade open day to raise funds for our young Cadets.

They look good Craig.I just worked out that it is 2 humans in the front of the truck
Must be that it is 3.15 am and half asleep.
Could you tell us how much they sell for.
May be worth some of us doing the same
Those small bottles of paint would be dear wouldnt they?
Very good job

Good to see you are still doing your trucks
Look good and I am sure the kids that end up with those will be really happy and have a lot of fun with them.
Cheers,
Chipman

yeah Aussie,
just a bit quicker.
The little bottles were because I originally just made one, and a matching large truck, bout 4 years ago. The paint was still good.
They sold quickly for 10 bucks so I might make a larger batch next time we do something like that. Then I will get more economical paint.
The Fire Dudes are just a piece of 19mm dowel slightly turned at the end to give the impression of a head. A freind did the turning.
Many asked if there is a big truck to go with it (called a 3.4, 3000litres and 4wd).
So I will have to do that too next time.
They are fun Chipman, I got one back for fathers day, my 9y/o daughter helped me make them so bought one back when I wasnt there so we could keep one.
We now have the prototype and the latest model.
