Not much inside the doors on this one, it was a xmas gift for the father-inlaw and was for display only.. as you can probally see its sitting ontop of a cabinet.

Ive kept the templates i made so shouldnt take nearly as long. It was good learning project for using the router doing "engraving" with it using templates and bearings (for the headlights/grille/windows/wheel arches).

The bits that are hard to see are the contrasting bench seat, gear stick and steering wheel in the cab..


The idea originated from a toy factory in adelaide and they wanted upwards of 250bucks for em, and you had to put them together... so i designed my own.. I didnt like how they had them put together with black bolts that stood out like dogs ..... well you know...



plans for other ones are a wine rack and cd rack similar to these:

Purse - comments from our little son: "Cool! I want one. I could put cars inside! It'll take a long time to make it."

Comment from me: Great work!
