    Fantastic builds Frank! I really like the excavator. The plywood looks awesome in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your work. Do you have any other builds to share?

    G'Day & Welcome "downunder" Frank,
    You have done a fine job one this lot, a seasoned toymaker.
    The detail looks great and you've got a very nice finish.
    More photos are always appreciated especially of the detail.
    How long did you spend in the shed and out of the pub?
    What are the timbers you've used please?
    Be very interested in seeing the traction engine photos, please.
    Cheers, crowie

    There are a good bunch of blokes on the toymaking section of the forum....helpful & knowledgeable..
    Thanks for being part of the mob..

    Very nice toys.
    I have also made the lowboy and cabover from toys and joys.
    I always like seeing everybody's own version of them.
    I really like the excavator never seen any plans like that one yet.
    Keep up the good work hope to see more toys in the future.
