Great work - I admire your patience and resourcefulness in making the model from scratch. I like to make ship models but you work at such a large scale that the detail is much more important. My truck has the interior you're building and your reproduction looks exactly right (but I guess you already knew that!)

That's a really top job there fella...

Can I ask what you do with them when their finished? My misses says I can collect as many models as I want, as long as they all fit in the one hutch...
