Clayton717 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 I finally started working on the Kenworth truck. This has been one of my to do projects for quite a while. Once finished I will start the lowboy trailer and bulldozer to go with it. I started taking a couple pictures once I had something together that started looking like a truck. It is all cut from walnut with maple accents. Most of the pieces are cut out, just have to start putting it all together and then start adding the small details. Quote
amazingkevin Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 Clayton ,is this a first for a motorized veheicle for you? Quote
Clayton717 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Posted April 4, 2013 Clayton ,is this a first for a motorized veheicle for you? No, I built one of these trucks a couple years ago for my Dad. I made that one 75% of the original size. I added a regular style box trailer to his, it stores his whiskey bottle. Pictures of that one are in my old gallery, under misc. Quote
