Thanks for that, I’m no expert by any means but I enjoy what I do so I think that is a big help. I think the most important thing when you’re just starting out is don’t be too ambitious with you first projects. If you have a go at something that is too complex chances are you’ll loose heart with it as it won’t turn out as you would like it. If you keep it simple, and tackle something that you actually want to build, then likely as not you’ll be pleased with what you’ve done and each thing that you build will improve your skills. Oh, and it helps if you have plenty of patience... something I don’t!

Cheers Zac, yes I noticed it was one of yours and thought you would be in your element! I might just take you up on that!😉

I can certainly do that 😉 only trouble is you have a tendency for making explicit content and I'm afraid my wallet might be harmed if I supply such information 😉🤣🤣

Looks top notch as usual, whats the idea of spliting the cab? Are you casting it?

Pesume you just built up wheel molds ect over the year?

Thank you! The cab is already in two parts, the finish isn’t a nice when it’s together, but it makes it a lot easier to work on! When I’m casting I tend to do a few at a time as it can be a bit messy (maybe that’s just me mind😉)
