I might have another go with the card but also just thought if I could create planked skip buckets. Did these ever exist?
I started with this (saved it from Milo just in time!)

And then ended up with my take on a planked skip:

I will add bolt detail and strapping but I think it works.
I squared the bottom of the skip sides off so to add a plank easier.

I don't know about plank built skips, but I have seen some that were riveted from flat iron sheets. More mine dram perhaps, but it might be an idea.

I could do that with the next one Jim using Plastikard, good idea.

Prototype for everything if you know where to look. Clever thinking Tom, I like the look of that wood (and the source).

What size nuts/bolts do you use for 7/8ths?
I would like to use scale nuts which are hard to find?

If you can't buy ready made nuts/bolts (heads) you could make your own by cutting thin sections of square or hex plastic rod which is probably available in a range of sizes.

I have some ba 8 - 12 size but use them sparingly as I'm too stingy to use them on every build. I much prefer my acrylic rivets at £2 a thousand
