    Default Toy caravan

    I thought I would make a little caravan to tow behind one of my toy trucks .. so here it is.
    I have continued in the same vein as the truck so it is in keeping with that design. I left the roof and door off so you can see inside. The wheels are odd at the moment because I hadn't decided which wheels to use. I think I will stick with the same one as the truck type.

    Right side of van Attachment 170572

    Left side of van Attachment 170574

    And yes, it has furniture. Attachment 170573

    Attachment 170575

    It will be finished when I get a new bandsaw blade
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    John, that's gorgeous. Nice choice of shape to go with the tow vehicle. You've really created a bit of magic there, with the open roof.

    Is it me, or is there no towbar...??

    But seriously John, that's terrific.

    Next, you'll need a stock trailer for the truck to carry the pigs/cows around in.
    Too many projects, so little time, even less money!
