its a lot easier in 32mm to build stuff like this because a lot of cheap car toys axles are 32mm wide and all you have to do is add a cardboard body.

This is beginning to look very like my latest Garden Rail series ;)

Seriously, that's a really neat vehicle, Pauly.

I notice you use the same radiator material as I do - thank heaven for little grills :lol:
