I agree with Steve, it's an absolute cracker, it is more than a toy, it needs to be in a showcase.

I have 3 grandchildren, I know they would love grandad to make something like this, but I don't have the skill or patience required, well done you. =D> =D> =D>

Bob , apart from the coloring for the last 10 yrs of my working life I drove a truck identical to that .That is a real beauty and a wonderful piece of scrolling ,as DiySteve has said it should be confined to a showcase .

Thanks for showing .

[BRYAN]

That is brilliant.

Question.
Are there plans available for this kind work or do you have to measure the trucks at the local haulage yard?

Bryan.

I've spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how it was made. My gob is well and truly smacked.

Me too!
I thought a scroll saw was 'just' a mechanical coping saw
Are other techniques used in the creation of such an item, turning for the round bits etc??

Excellent! superb detail. =D> =D> =D>
