    Default trailer

    Hello, this is my first attempt at a toy. I started with the trailer and going to the truck next. The plans are from toys and joys. I just used pine to see how I did before I went a little more expensive. All feedback would be helpful. Thanks mike

    Looks good to me. Especially for a first attempt. Only suggestion I have is it need more sanding unless you just were so excited to post your pics you haven't done that yet. I do that alot.

    Keep the pics coming. What model of truck is the plans. The Kenworth?

    G'Day Mike......WOW, What a first attempt.
    You certainly didn't start small & simple.
    It looks great, keep up the good work.
    Looking forward to more WIP photos, thank you.
    Cheers, Crowie

    Great start, looking great. keep up the good work. look forward to seeing more of it. Are you going to make one in a different timber or continue with the pine? Pine can look quite good when its finished. problem of course is it doesn't turn too well and tends to rip a bit but i can see your logic in wanting to do one in pine before you move on to more exotic and expensive timbers. keep those pics coming.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John
