A confession.

Over Christmas I played a lot of Lego with my 8 year nephew. (Yes, I'm 29!) But while he got bored after an hour or two I kept going. Below is the result. I'm happy with the proportions and the tilting cab. It's based on the Leyland DAF T244 as used by the Irish Army. They used to park the trucks outside our primary school to go to the shop and from my lower vantage point I could see the universal joint spinning and driving the rear wheels. It was fascinating! Getting that detail right was the main point of the exercise. It also has a crude gear box with a neutral and forward gear so it can be driven by motor or by hand. Think my nephew liked it...
