This wooden model has the, ” WOW ! ” factor just for its sheer length as it is all of 2.9 metres, ( about 9 1/2 Ft ) in length, and based on a Real Side-Tip Quad Road Train ( For those who do NOT believe such a thing exists,- hop onto You Tube & type in, ” Port Hedland Road Trains. ” ) – Some even comprise of SIX Trailers in length !!
A real Quad Road train stretches all of 175ft in length,- as more than one impatient traveler has discovered to their dismay.
Anyway,- enjoy the photos of this impressive wooden model.

When your friend's own an Aussie Transport Company, & their yard is, ( literally ) just down the street from where you live, then designing & building realist Wooden Models of our Aussie Trucks & trailers is soo much easier, and even better when ALL the crew LOVE my creations and always invite me into the yard to take as many photos as I wish !
This model is based on a real Kenworth SAR, hauling a Tri-axle Float, ( Lowboy ).
Set to 1/15 scale, and measures 53 inches in length x 6 1/2 inches wide.
A local truckie/trucker here offered me Aust. $2,500 for this a couple of years ago,- But NOT selling as its one of my display models !! ( Only have Four in total )

Hickory End Table

This is the first time I tried hickory for a project. I really like the look. It is a very open grain wood so I used Aqua Coat grain filler and it turned out very smooth to the touch. Also my first time using grain filler. The finish is shellac with water based poly over it to give the top durability, followed by paste wax.
