I’m a bit concerned about the colour choice... IIRC 98.3% of tradesmen’s utes
are white! ;-)

True enough. This is one of the remaining 1.7%. This was a rendering of a
specific ute, and since the real one was yellow, so was the model. When I make
one for myself I’ll make it in genuine white. For extra authenticity I’ve got
plenty of old chewed up and yellowed white bricks to use.

The dropsides are inspired, and the compressor is a masterpiece of minimalist
design.

Thanks again.

My favourite part is the trailer though... a classic design, and executed in
a clever way

I spent far too much time working out the hinging of the lids. In the end the
solution was a fairly simple and elegant one, which was what I was after. My son
liked it too. He’s got me mass producing the things now /sigh/. He loooves
trailers for some reason.
Cheers,
Allister
