:lol: :Y:

Manpa I'm happy to report our 2 year old grandson loves his Truck and Jeep also the build quality is top notch erfect: :trophy: thanks for helping us create great memories :beer:

Fantastic RM, brings a smile to my face, had a visit today from some social workers (long story) and I gave them half a dozen kids cars for them to give to some little trackers that dont have too much. Hopefully they will get some joy from them.

Some young child would love one of those.

What you need to know, is that like cars, there are many different models.

I think the coolest Battlestar is the Galactica herself, the 2003 version, not the 1978 version.

Watch this very cool battle montage showing the Galactica in action.

This is the second unit finished this morning, a Tatra 8 wheel drive Truck, these were made famous in the Dakar Rally. This has articulating wheels so it will run on rough ground. Approx 400mm long, Pine and some Jarrah trim, beeswax finish. Available in the for sale section.

Another beauty. You are really into trucks hey! :Y:

Probably because there are lots of plans available more than anything. The Tatra was a challenge with the articulating wheels but I got there after a bit o& head scratching.

 

[Sandbagger]

I was hoping Manpa had gone quiet because he was building a Battlestar.....



Baz.

 

[Sandbagger]

BTW, that semi is bloody beautiful!

 

[Sandbagger]

I've made stacks of knives at work lately , but all I've done at home is build a shed and make some more Baz Crack-Scratchers, (crevicing tools).

 

[Manpa]

BTW, that semi is bloody beautiful!

Sold already, took less than an hour on the daughters market place page.

 

[Gpx5000]

Wow, well done guys.
My grandkids are really missing out.
Wish I could make something like this.

 

[Manpa]

Finished this one off today, commission order, early 1930s Ford Phaeton, loose interpretation.
Sorry Baz, Battlestar Galactica is going to have to wait, I have a few orders to fulfil.

 

[Jaros]

Great work mate.

 

[Dave law]

WOW I really like that one. Cheers
