    Great looking truck Bob. Certainly not hanging about with building. What finish did you use on it

    I knew it. I knew those wheels for something. Man you are a machine Bob. Another great model. Where are you putting all these guys. You must have a room full of them buy now.

    What is next?

    Absolutely beautiful Bob.
    The colour contrasts of the timber work very well together.
    Had to laugh, only 80 pieces and it didn't take long.......well done
    Could I trouble you for a few more photos of the front & rear of the truck PLEASE.
    [been spoilt by a certain Texan]....Thank you.
    Cheers, crowie

    Default 56 Pick up

    Bob, I have to say I do not like your choice of model's, but the workmanship is excellent as usual. Timber selection is is brilliant as it show's the truck as it probably was in it's day. I agree with Crowie, a couple of front & rear photo's would be good. Another fine example of your work. You must have more than a few model's now, A personal question, where to you display them? I have three & working on more & my wife is starting to question , where do we put all these?

    Great job, Bob. It came up really nice. Love the white-walls.
    I've been meaning to read your thread on the subject, but I've been flat-out. I'll check it out next.

    This one's on my list to build next too. Bought the plans along with the Roadster ones.
