Hello Robert, It's a nice model, with a good level of detail for the scale you've chosen. I would consider to make the bench besides the back door six studs long, and model its shape with brown grill tiles, in order to mimic the very narrow beams (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)

What a cute building! I think that's a great choice of prototype, Robert - small, characterful, and a few non-rectangular features to make it an interesting challenge to build - and you've really done a good job of catching the character. I (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jul-06, to lugnet.town)

Great models in a great folder! (These 5 models are not the only reason to follow the links) And I'm wondering about the wheels of the landfill compactor. Are they attached using the chain link/link tread 3873 on a gear wheel? Andreas (18 years ago, 17-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I had not even noticed hat it steers! Is there an actaul steering mechanism from a wheel of some sort on the body of the truck? Perhaps you have to move the wheels by hand. It's so tight I can't tell. (18 years ago, 17-Jul-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
