If you wonder why I have not produced a lot for a while the simple answer is because I am part way through building this model as many know this is my other woodworking love as well as earns me a little extra to buy tools.

That’s a “hole” lot of work you have been doing there:funny::funny:

It all reminds me about watching I think it was Mr Blizards toy making on TV when I was a kid..

All great stuff and something that is more than a toy it’s a work of art.

Termites more like Mark

Roughly put the ladder assembly on the main body as it will need to be taken apart for ease of finishing, then onto some fine detail as well as the wheels.
