Happy to see that she is a 10 wheeler (6 wheeler)! I was a little concerned that yesterdays update showed that she was only showing 4 (6). Much better! :)
Those wheels were temporary. Had to keep the truck high enough so that it would not sit on the ladder going to the sleeper.

Here I was going to ask you how you managed the tread on the tires, now I see those weren't even the tires for the truck.
Like Mullaney say's, "Looks NICE"
Thank you for the compliment. Those wheels with the treads are "store bought". I have a jig for putting treads on tires. It is made to do diagonal grooves at different angle and counts per wheel.

Looks really good! Do you have display cases full of your creations? Or are they strategically placed around the Hosenda? Are they gifts for your kids/grandkids? Or for needy children? Got an website available for collection viewing?

Just that darn curiosity coming out again in me! LOL

I have three 8 foot shelves in the living room and more in my office filled with all the models. My sons will inherit them when I am gone. Too fragile to use as toys. It takes me an average of 1 week to make one. (more than 8 hours per day)

All the pieces are manually cut and sanded by me, not laser cut or CNC machines. I really enjoy the challenge!
