Carmine A 2046 Posted April 2, 2022 Very clever project! I'm doing something a bit similar, but a Thai Dump Truck. The funny little ones, not the serious ones. You're a lot farther along than I am. All I've got so far, is a WPL D-21 Body and Globe Liner Frame Rails. Looking forward to this progress! 😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
