Top marks Cam, you've done great...Simple, strong with just enough detail!
If I may suggest that you support the exhaust stacks to help prevent mishaps.
Your little bloke is going to enjoy that truck for ever, make sure you date sign it.
It'll help him remember when dad made it for when he it passes down to his son.
Keep up the good work Cam, looking forward to the trailer.
Cheers, Peter

Decided I’m not a painter. Swmbo said I had to paint it and not overly happy with the result but sure the young fella not going to notice. Would of preferred to varnish it or something but it will do for birthday present tomorrow F7996833-FAAB-40A0-BBD2-C28B8DAC9415.jpgnot sure what was wrong with picture either I only have a phone don’t have a computer .

Top job Cam,
You'll have one very excited little bloke tomorrow........
He won't worry about the painting though as you said I too prefer a clear finish to show off the timber.
Keep up the good work sir.
Cheers, Peter

Now That's a genuine road train. Very nice.
I also prefer finish that show the wood used, but for a childs toy i can accept a paint job, as long as it is a water based paint that won't do any harm to the child.
You have done a fine piece of toy.Knappen - aka Ole, try at least one time.

That's brilliant, I love it, maybe the garden can provide some logs for the flat bed or you can make a trackscavator for it. and then some bandsaw animals for the pig pen at the back, as for the pics, i have an iphone so before I post, I open the photo, hit <edit> then crop ever so slightly and it will post the right way up. But i have now taken to taking the photo in one half of the screen so can crop either the top or bottom.
