Nice work Gary, cant wait to see the rest of the build. Your attention to detail is superb.
Cheers, Ian"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.. it can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

G'Day Gary,
The Aussie spirit of mateship has and is getting everyone through this difficult couple of months all the way down the east coast of Australia....
Something of the country is summed up in the attached poem "My Country"....
Keep up the great photos on the wagon.
Cheers, crowie

Thanks, it's 1/8'' scale so the box will be 16 1/2'' long by 9 1/2 '' wide out side of hub to hub 15 1/2'' to the top of the bows so with a team around 34'' long i'll give a little better size as i go i'm typing with one eye and one finger at the time the eye will get better but the typing will stay the same... sure glad to have that over look like i've been hit with a bass ball tho...
