PDC Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I went shopping in ALDI yesterday and picked up one of those £6.99 lorries :) I chose the blue MAN cement mixer as I knew I wanted to have a go at a beavertail body and had the same colour blue paint at home ;) With the mixer removed and about an inch of the back of the chassis I set about building my body from plasticard and plastistrut 8) This picture shows as far as I got in about an hour yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
