Cephas 530 Posted May 23, 2021 Just thought I would share this, some may appreciate the skill involved in making it. One of the last items my dad made, his hobby was carpentry. I think it’s awesome and one of my prized possessions. 26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamiya Fan 1 114 Posted May 25, 2021 A lot of skill full work done on that, looks nice. I'm sure your dad enjoyed doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikko85 3454 Posted May 25, 2021 Fantastic craftsmanship Looks a lot like a QD Pumkin, I wonder what model he used, or did he just pull a few together perhaps. In my other hobby I make drum kits, so I do appreciate a really nice piece of woodwork. Looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the suspension must have leaf springs. It's always great to branch out in new directions, but I love how the car has remained true to its monster truck roots. Robert Plant doesn't drive RC cars, but if he did, he'd have one of these. Although I hear Edwood Woodwood had 3 of them. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
