    Short work car build

    I mentioned this in my critter bash topic.

    Don't have much time to comment on its details and things so enjoy the photos of the unfinished model till next time. All scratch built benches and boxes. tools are vector cut, tank is from an old donkey kit i had and the crane is scratch built.

            HI guys. Its a 10ft x 6ft car using bachmann passenger truck side frames. Ill take an under shot tonight of how easy it is to build on the trucks.

            I have another truck there i should make the same length car on but im deciding on what i to use it as. Maybe an Oil car or something.

              Just to add. I think everyone should have the vector cut tools and gears in there little box of details. Im going through them like crazy building these models. Fantastic little details.

                  Easy way to find small gears is inside old wristwatches. I used to use them to get the ships helm when I was making ships in bottles. Also the face of the watch can be used in the tower of a station as a working time piece.

                      Great car. VectorCut's products are fantastic. Your job including them in the car is, too.
