Yngve N AuthorThanks. Yes I've seen it and will definitely buy it. But I don't know how to make a wagon out of the car yet, so I really need to step up my skills on styrine. And my creativity.... 😬

Yngve N AuthorI checked your project and noticed you're doing something similar to what I'm looking for.

My Volvo is smaller than your fire truck, but it's probably the same principle. I will keep an eye on your wall and maybe that's where I will find the inspiration

BozzerI'll keep an eye out for this build too. I remember those cars here, back in the late 70's. They were like tanks! Built to last.
