I think I may run over the time limit, so I will build the Scania first just to get it over the finish line.

Nice idea Ian lots of work involved looking forward to your build.

What an original idea. Nice one Ian.

Forget the time restraints or you'll start rushing things.

The model will be finished when it's finished.

I'm watching this. I built the Italeri Timber Trailer about 18 months ago:

Makes a nice model. I am presently finishing the Italeri "Cattleman" tractor. The two together have an overall length of 3 ft!

Looking good Ian still watching.
