Trucks for market WIP
Hi,
Going to sell some trucks and pens at the local Charleville Markets. I have glued up 8 trucks and next is the trailers. I had made 10 but have kept one to donate to a child care centre to raffle and the other one is to be used as a template.
Thanks for looking.

G'Day Todd,
Great effort.
Good solid, honest toy, ready for any little person to test drive.
Is there a trailer to go with the truck?
Are you going to paint or lacquer them?
Let us know how you go please.
Cheers, crowie

howsit Todd, like the design, good luck with the markets. How much are they going for? Painted, varnished or natural finish?
Cheers, Tony

Trucks now with Trailers
Hi,
Have made some trailers but ran out of 8mm dowel to make the axels so could only finish 6. No big green shed out here. Have put a wind deflector on 7 of the rigs and headlights and front grill on 8 rigs. Need to finish the last 2 trailers and then put exhaust on the rigs then rub back and the varnish.
As to price - I have sold 1 truck with a steam roller on it and was paid $140. Reckon I could go for $80 for the truck and trailer. Will wait and see.
Photo of the truck and steam roller combo included.
Thanks for looking.
