Star's Version of a Kenworth. ( T.B.C )
I have just purchased some more plans. This one is from Prime Mover. It is the Kenworth prime mover with bull bars and trailer.
One of the finished units will possibly be for my Grandson for Christmas but the main motivating factor was that our woodworking club has a generous sponsor who amongst other things has a fleet of Kenworths.
Because of my latest Fire truck which I have nearly completed has drawn some interest the possibility of me making a nice wood toy as a gift of appreciation has been raised. Rather than just copy Prime Mover's plans completely I was thinking of adding some refinements that will take the unit from a good quality working toy into a more up market model mode.
I have done a similar thing to the latest T Model Ford Fire Truck to individualize it against the others I have done. The thing I like about Primes Plans is that they are well set out and now I have made a few would like to set out and change a few things while using the plans as the basic model to copy.
Our friend John ( Munrubben ) has already gone down that route so not to let him get too far in front of me I decided that I will follow his lead. But gee, I have to run to try to keep up with him.
Just got a few more little things to do and I will post some photos of the adapted Fire Truck. and then I can move onto the W.I.P. End Loader. The cogs at Star's Workshop move very slowly.
