For my son's seventh birthday, my dad made him some toy trucks. He made him a tractor (that looks sort of like a cross between a HET and a Kenworth),


a side dump trailer,


(yes, it actually works)


and a lowboy trailer.


I figured you guys would enjoy seeing them, so I snapped a couple of pics of them while they are still photogenic.

Now that's some cool scratchbuilding, excellent work. Tell your dad he needs to find a square holesaw for the windows though Thanks for sharing Jim.

Cheers, D

Thanks. Actually, I think he has a square hole saw.

Here are a few more that my dad has made over the last few years: a car carrier (looks a little like a Ford Model TT),




a dump truck,




Jeep,


and a quint.




Let's just say that since his retirement, he has enjoyed spending time in hit workshop making toys for his 5 grandkids. He's made all sotrs of things: a barn, baby pull toys, rubber-band powered dragsters (they actually didn't work as well as planned), doll houses, train, biplane, & a helecopter. We've started to call him "Geppetto"!

Wonderful toy's, absolutely wonderful. Give my regards to Geppetto
