“C” Cab Delivery VanThis little truck was inspired by Doug, aka Hunter71.I'd seen him make some beautiful delivery vans in a C cab pattern.Some time ago he'd kindly shared his “C” cab pattern with me which was extremely generous and helpful as it gave me a starting point.I've used Doug's pattern on a number of trucks but thought it was about time to have a go at a Delivery Van.Not a heap of extra detail on this first attempt but enough to make an interesting toy for a child's play.
As you can see the van is about 12” long.The timbers are as follows:Spotted Gum sides,
Tallow Wood roof & rear doors,
Merbau for the engine & radiator as well as the mudguards [fenders],
Tassie Oak for the running boards as is the chassis,
The finish is my Home-Made Wipe-On-Poly.Shop bought 2” wheels and ale pegs plus the furniture buttons used for lights.Button steering wheel and bead gear shift on bamboo skewers.Not sure if this one's for the community club fund raising or as a gift.
