this is the latest addition to the fleet ( very small fleet ) so far: and it all started from this, this photo is all the reference there was available so some modellers licence has been used, it was finally given as a fathers day gift as it is a copy of my dad`s old truck he drove in the late 70`s early 80`s

Superb build Tony, I would imagine your dad was lost for words when you handed that over.

Hi Tony
That looks fantastic. My brother used to work for the Dutch car transporter firm, Broekman Motortransport in Rotterdam, and was at me for ages to build him one using the Dutchman DAF 3300 cab as a basis. His was a bit more complicated than the one you have here with multiple lifting ramps built in to the rig.
Needless to say, I have not even made a start on it as I have a feeling it is well out with my capabilities at this time. I do have his operators manual and a heap of photos if I EVER get the courage to tackle it !!!!!!
Nice to see you making a fantastic job of the Toleman and you have got the colours down to a T !!!!!
Love the load of Minis. Would be great to see the transporter fully loaded with a selection of Minis in different colours. You have made a smashing job of the ones you have done already.
Stunning

Great build Stretch, my Hino is ready to be hit with primer tomorrow (Monday our time) then I'll give it a hit of white glue the wheels on and then load it up with a mix of cardstock and plastic cars for now BUT I do plan to load it with all cardstock, U've got to remember that this is a cardstock rig so laoding ramps and the likes R not in my build ideas at the moment. This is just a suck it and see if I can do it a better rig will come later. But in the mean time well done done. Dingo
