Big Rig wooden models

Here in Minlaton, South Australia I design & build realistic Big Rig wooden models plus even draw up the woodworking plans for those who are interested in this of wood working.

 

Been a woodworker for as long as I can remember,- Grew up on a Southern Yorke Peninsula farm, but enjoyed wood work heaps more than farm work.

 

In my younger days, I worked on house projects, concreting work, and furniture restoration, plus even built a bit of timber furniture, etc., etc,- but now I am an, " oldie, " with a few, " creaking hinges, " I prefer designing & building wooden models of our Aussie Big Rigs.some of which, when completed stretch all of 2.9 metres in length !!

Re: Big Rig wooden models

G'day 

I am pleased to join this group. I am a 74 year old men shredder and would like to obtain plans for the big rigs, in particular my immediate interest is in the sidewinder quad and the Kenworth T909. Please advise how to obtain these.

Many thanks

Bobb

Re: Here's some more pics of my 1:20 scale Side-Tip Quad Road train.

G'day Katie, am I able to get the plans for this T909 and quad sidewinder trailers? If so please advise how. I am retired and now a men shredder, my son drives these for Campbell's out of WA and I would like to build one. Many thanks Bobb

Re: Big Rig wooden models - my hobby & passion

G'day, I am 74 and retired and keep myself amused by going to a men's shed. My son drives ore carrying multies for Campbell's in WA. I would love to make one of these models for him. Can I get the plans from you? If so please advise  how? Many thanks Bobb
