I raid the local building site rubbish skips for raw materials and make them for my own amusement so its not costing a lot and I don't want to just dump them or have them gathering dust.

You've done a top job on those two truck "Otak",
If nothing comes of Aussie's lead, I have some old family friends who've lived in maroochydore since the early 1960's and I'd be happy to contact them for an outlet for your trucks.
Please let me know, either "PM" or "email" is good, thank you.
Meantime, keep up the top work on the toys, great photo.
Cheers, crowie

OtakiriLad ,

Excellent job on those toy trucks . If you are giving them away I reckon
a hospital for kids with cancer . They would be over the moon to have great
toys like your's . I donate some of my toys a few years ago to the Bundaberg
hospital for the sick kids . Keep up the great toy making .

Cheers Graham

Top job, OktiraLad. Keep up the good work.

Up to you now Crowie.See how you go

Nice work OtakiriLad I am sure that the Savation Army would love to take them.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of childrens hospitals or charities so I will follow up on that - Something like the Smith Foundation which seems to have a focus in that area.
Meanwhile back to making wheels (and trying to find a quicker, easier way to do it).
Cheers
