| description | Hi all! Finally my 1850l has its clothes! Truck was a joy to build, a pig to paint and after a few wobbles is now as good as it's going to get for one of my builds at least! With thanks to Nestle UK for permission and Screenprintdigital for their work. I did have issues with the steering servo, thanks to those who were at Gaydon Motor Museum for your input - it was indeed a bad, new servo. Replaced with another new it behaves beautifully - just need to try and take up some of the slop in the steering system
Appreciate the lorry is not a 100% replica but I just fancied a Yorkie lorry! Oh and white balance varies between shots with and without flash, blue is Tamiya TS 19 with Light Gun Metal TS 42 bumpers.

Thanks guys!
very nice youve done a fantastic job
Very Nice! Looks a bit like the GREAT Chuck Norris driving it though, so he's one trucker no-one will mess with!
Wow, that box-truck sure turned out nice in blue!. Good work on this one indeed.
I agree...Looks Fantastic !!!!!
Thanks Skottoman, high praise indeed coming from a master builder such as you. A great little truck indeed. I am to tight to pay almost a truck again for the mfu so just the lighting kit with an additional set for the aux lights (didnt want orange fog lights) and rear running. The Carson steering mod is well worthwhile. Enjoy your build!
That is super awesome!!!! I have one of these NIB as an upcoming build. Yours looks great! Did you put the MFU sound/light unit in it or just lights? What a cool little truck!
